Hello Jeff Thompson,
I am writing today on behalf of my mom, Marianna Gore, who lives at Madonna Summit in Byron. Yesterday (11/23/2020), Erick Nelson, of The Low Vision Store, delivered the new Topaz HD vision machine to Marianna. She is so very pleased, within 5 minutes she was up and operational as the machine is so easy to use. The lighting and clarity of this new HD machine is such an improvement over the old unit! Kindest thanks -- this was truly worth the wait! Ramona H. |

Eye-Link Foundation Members,
I would like to take a moment to thank you for your recent generous and kind donation. The CCTV that you provided has vastly improved his quality of life.
John, who has always been very active involved individual throughout his life, is now able to use his CCTV to read again and to see smaller part of electronic devices that he enjoys repairing for friends and family as a productive hobby.
I can tell you that I was there the day that John’s device arrived, and that the ear to ear grin on his face, and the excitement in his voice at the new possibilities of being able to do things that he never thought he’d do again was one of the greatest rewards that I have been granted in this field. John Harris is a man who has lived his life in selfless service to others, especially those less fortunate and often forgotten members of society. It is so heart warming to see some of that service giving back to him in his time of through kind agencies such as yours.
Thank you so much for your amazing contribution!

As an individual with low vision, Roger is legally blind but can still see with powerful correction and assistance. He has adaptive technology at work, but needed something for his home use. Eye-Link gladly provided Roger with a Davinci, which magnifies print materials, assists him in paying bills, reading mail, and in writing correspondences.
Result: Independently taking care of personal tasks

After her desktop computer crashed and was no longer operable, Pheak was unable to use her Minnesota SSB-provided adaptive software. As a student at the University of Minnesota, she relies heavily on the software to assist in reading assignments and writing papers. Eye-Link was happy to provide her with a new, better equipped desktop computer so she can complete her degree.
Result: Ability to freely pursue education

When David needed to travel or run errands, he needed a sighted companion. When David needed to complete a simple, important task like getting groceries, he relied on a sighted companion to assist him in getting to and from his destination. Eye-Link provided David with the Trekker Breeze, a GPS-enabled device which guides him by voice to and from his destination.
Result: Increased independent mobility
