📣 EXCITING NEWS!! 📣

Join us in congratulating our young artist, Kacey, age 12, for winning 3RD PLACE in AltruVision's first ever Butterflies of Hope Art Contest!

With over 60 submissions, the competition was tough! Like us, the judges loved this piece; sharing "Artistically it is very original. The closer you get, the more engaged you are. It represents how someone that’s visually impaired might see a butterfly. The transformation and the colors are her – what she has done with her life after her transplant – she is the transformation." 🦋

When Kacey was born, her parents, Kristin and Kenny, noticed something different about her eyes. Upon further examination at Wills Eye Hospital, it was determined that Kacey was born with a rare eye disease called Peters Anomaly. At only four months old, thanks to AltruVision's Gratis Tissue Program and Dr. Christopher Rapuano, MD, Kacey received a corneal transplant in each eye.

CONGRATULATIONS, KACEY! We are so proud of you! 🎨🎉
