            family member.  Decades ago my grandfather underwent an eye
            operation which left him blind in one eye.  I realized, as I
            heard this story when I was 14, how important vision is in an
            individual's life.  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.donateuseeyeglasses.com/"><P>I then created this program,
            partnered with <A href="http://www.donateuseeyeglasses.com/lions.html">Georgia LIONS Lighthouse
            Foundation</A><A href="http://www.donateuseeyeglasses.com/lions.html"> </A> whose mission is to
            foster sight conservation and restoration, and hearing conservation,
            with a particular emphasis on youth.<FONT color="#2153aa"> </FONT>
            My collection of  eye glasses are sent
            to those who are the poorest of the poor.  I began collecting used prescription eyeglasses, 
              frames, broken frames, lenses, sunglasses, and reading glasses. 
            When I created this program, my goal was to collect 5000 glasses by
            the time I graduated from high school.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.donateuseeyeglasses.com/"><P>I am now 18 years old and
            am months away from graduation.  I am ecstatic to say I have
            collected over 6000 pairs of glasses in the past 3 and 1/2 years, and
            this number increases daily.
