"I can see my shoes now!" 💚

👓 That’s what one Strafford student told Nurse Lacey after trying on his new eyeglasses (and new shoes) from Care to Learn Strafford!

THIS is why we do WHAT we do. Every dollar and every act of kindness helps change the lives of our kids.

Thank you to our amazing donors for making this and many other wishes come true❗
