Vision with action can change the world." - Joel A. Action without vision just passes the time. "Vision without action is merely a dream. To find a collection center near you, visit. It makes me smile to think of those who will be receiving this gift! I hope they receive not only improved sight, but a renewed vision for life as well. I cannot imagine not having those glasses to reach for or my contacts to put on. I wake up each morning to a blurry world and feel much more confident when I put my glasses on, when I feel I can fully participate in life and more easily interact with those around me.

And after 39 weeks of acts of kindness, that's saying a lot. This activity quickly became one of my favorites.

Running errands isn't anything new to my children since they're homeschooled, but it certainly doesn't make them immune from complaining about being bored and asking how many more stops we have to make before heading home.

Unfortunately, it also means that those children now need to tag along while their parents run errands. School is out for summer! For millions of children in the United States it means freedom from getting up early and having homework.
