Meet Toby! 👓

Toby has been relying on off-the-shelf glasses from the chemist, but they're no longer cutting it for him. He needs proper prescription glasses to ensure he can read comfortably. Plus, when he's not working, Toby loves gaming! He even brought in his own frames because he's attached to them – he just needs the lenses sorted, and that's where we step in.

If you know someone who needs a new pair of glasses for everyday or leisure use, we've got their back. Spread the word and let them know about us! We're here to help at Homeless Healthcare on Lord St. Together, we can make sure no one feels left behind when it comes to clear vision! 🌟

Meet Matt! 👓

Matt paid us a visit, likely persuaded by Jody (remember her from last week's post!). He didn't have any specific concerns but wanted to ensure his eyes were healthy. To his surprise, he found out he needed reading glasses. Despite some initial hesitation, he decided to give them a try, realizing how much they improved his vision without strain. We're confident he'll love his new glasses!

If you know someone who might be ignoring vision issues like headaches and squinting, "drag" them in like Jody did with Matt! Encourage them to come in for an eye test with us at Homeless Healthcare on Lord St. Assure them we'll take excellent care of them! Spread the word! 🗣️

Shoutout to Yasmin! 🌟

This week, we're incredibly thankful for Yasmin, who generously volunteered her time to support us at the clinic this week. She played a crucial role in selecting frames for our patients, ensuring they found the perfect fit, and even helped organise their cases and labels to ensure accuracy.

If you're inspired by Yasmin's dedication and want to make a difference like she did today, we'd love to have you volunteer with us too! Drop us a message in our inbox to get involved and spread the word! 🙌

In just one day, we served 12 amazing individuals, providing glasses for 11 of them! 💖

Last week, our team from John's Vision Inc visited the Northcliffe family and community center.

Moses and Michelle met people facing immense challenges - from financial barriers to simply being unable to drive to get the care they need. One patient hadn't had their eyes checked in over a decade, despite needing glasses with a prescription of -5.00! 😔

But amidst these challenges, there were moments of hope. We identified a glaucoma suspect and referred two patients for specialised care. And of course, Moses even had a little fun playing footy with some emus at Pemberton Oval! 😄

None of this would be possible without your support. Thank you for being a part of our mission! 🌟
