“Lily was falling behind in school and no one knew why,” shared the mom of a 9-year-old girl from rural Manitoba.
It wasn’t until a simple screening through our KidSight program that the truth came out: Lily couldn’t see the board clearly. A pair of glasses changed everything. Her grades improved, her confidence soared, and her smile returned.
But there are thousands more children like Lily across Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario, especially in rural and northern communities, where vision and hearing challenges often go undetected for years.
💡 The demand for our screenings has far outpaced our capacity, and that’s why we’re expanding.
🚌 We’re launching Bringing Care Closer, a mobile program that will travel to schools, daycares, and community events to provide free vision and, for the first time, hearing screenings. Our goal is ambitious yet vital and reachable – to screen 40,000 children every year.
💥And you can help make it happen.💥
