While immediate needs for corneal tissue and surgeons in Ukraine is high, long-term solutions remain a central focus. In collaboration with Eye Care For Ukraine, Eversight is working toward the development of an ethical, sustainable eye banking system.

This groundwork will enable the launch of a fully operational eye bank—bringing Ukraine closer to self-sufficiency in corneal transplantation.

“My brother Todd was a free spirited, independent man who was always generous. He believed firmly in organ and tissue donation, saying “if I don’t need it anymore, might as well give it to someone who does.” At the age of 56, he died suddenly of a heart attack, leaving a void in so many lives. At his memorial service, I was overwhelmed by the stories of Todd’s generosity in life. How fitting that in his death, he gave of himself as well. Todd would be thrilled to know that sight was restored for someone through his tissue donation. Through you, he rides on!” — A tribute from Heather Rosema, Todd’s sister

Todd and his family made the selfless decision to give the gift of sight, changing the lives of countless others. Discover more donor tributes and find ways to honor the gift of sight today: https://eversight.ws/3LooBiX. 💙

In Ukraine, the need for donor corneal tissue is both urgent and growing. Years of limited access to care—now compounded by an ongoing war—have left thousands of patients without a path to restored vision. However, thanks to a generous gift from the Robert and Judith Sturgis Family Foundation, that path is beginning to take shape.

On Memorial Day, we honor heroes who gave everything for our country. Corporal Benjamin S. Kopp of the 75th Ranger Regiment saved six fellow soldiers in Afghanistan. After he was mortally wounded, his decision to be an organ donor saved four more lives.

To honor Corporal Kopp and all other brave soldiers who became eye, organ and tissue donors, the Fallen Soldier statue at the National Donor Memorial United Network for Organ Sharing honors service members whose final act of courage was donation.
