Social Vision

Social Vision patients - Arturo and Jose — twin brothers who depend on daily medication to stay healthy.

This month, the public hospital system faced a serious crisis and was unable to meet their needs. That's when Social Vision stepped in. We made sure these boys received their necessary monthly medications — and in doing so, brought their mom a much-needed sense of relief and peace of mind.

Moments like these remind us why this work matters. The need in our community is real, and we are committed to showing up when others cannot.

The public hospital system is going through a very difficult time right now, and we hope they receive the funding and support they need to care for their patients very soon.

In the meantime, Social Vision will continue to be here for families like Arturo and Jose's.

“Life is like a sewer … what you get out of it depends on what you put into it.” —Tom Lehrer

Today, Social Vision had the privilege of helping Carmen, a dear friend of one of our supporters.

Carmen visited Dr. Christian Rodriguez at Exilaser after struggling with blurred vision caused by pterygium, a growth on the eye that can significantly affect eyesight and daily life. The good news is that surgery can restore her vision, and she is scheduled for her procedure next Tuesday. Afterward, she’ll also be fitted for glasses to help with her age-related vision changes.

We are so grateful to play a small part in helping Carmen see more clearly and improve her quality of life.

Every patient we help is only possible because of the kindness and generosity of people who support Social Vision.

Social Vision Patient – Manuel

Manuel was referred to us by a friend of Social Vision.

We were told that he is on the spectrum, but he is attending college and studying to become a chef. He has an amazing bright and pleasant personality to go with it. He learned English as a child by watching TV! We don’t know about our expat friends, but watching TV in Spanish did not help us much with learning Spanish!

Manuel had a pair of glasses that no longer corrected his vision properly and had become broken. Exilaser set him up with a lovely new pair, and he’s now off on his learning adventure!
