From March through June 2022, the KEX Kids Fund helped 212 children with comprehensive vision exams and new eyeglasses for families in need. During this school year, the KEX Kids Fund helped support the cost of 102 new eyeglasses for youth.
During the past few months, we have received more requests for help with vision care. The number of requests are increasing each month as schools return to in person instruction and school nurses are able to refer more students.
Your support is crucial now more than ever in sustaining our program to help children access vision care.
School nurses work closely with the school vision screening program led by the Oregon Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation (OLSHF) to ensure that children who are referred for vision care receive resources such as the KEX Kids Fund.
School nurses are grateful for the resources provided by the KEX Kids Fund. This program helps children see and learn to their potential.
Thank you for your support!
