Dear Donors,
Thank you for helping us to continue to reach our goal of providing hearing care for all eligible children requesting our help!
So far in 2014, your support helped us raise $31,918 to provide both hearing and vision care for needy children in Oregon and SW Washington. Most of our operating expenses for 2014 are pledged and collected during our annual Thanksgiving Fundraiser. We received $115,302 during our November 2013 fundraiser to be used for our $160,000 budget for 2014. Our funds are kept in one account and are used for both of our Hearing and Vision Care programs.
Vision Care Program Services expenses for January-September, 2014 were $56,562 and we processed applications for 592 children. The KEX Kids Fund children received vision care services valued at over $226,000. We continue to be able to provide vision care services to all qualified children who request our help and have no other options for vision care. Our contact at the Oregon Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation, Kerith Vance, receives Thank You notes form children receiving KEX Kids Fund vision care. We are attaching notes from some of our vision care children.
Thank you again for helping us bring sight to needy children in Oregon and SW Washington.
