A 6-month supply of contact lenses for Eimaj to replace her glasses

Posted May 9, 2024
Eimaj is currently wearing glasses and has worn them for most of her life. However, she broke them back in December while playing basketball for her school team, which were then repaired. She just recently broke them again, now by playing soccer for her school team. Unfortunately, with her intense prescription of -4.25 in both eyes, she needs glasses to even see at school. Eimaj really wants contact lenses. However, they aren't covered by her insurance. Eimaj's involvement with sports and school and contact lenses would allow her to continue learning in the classroom and with her teammates. She understands that this is a pricy wish, but she genuinely feels that they will not only help her stay safe but increase her self-confidence as well! This wish has been split into two parts to help Eimaj get a full year's supply. This is wish 1 of 2.

Eimaj is 14 years old and lives in ND

Eimaj is the oldest of eight children who were removed from the parental home. Since being in care, she has been able to shift from a parenting role, as she has been her whole life, to being a normal teenager. It has been so great to watch her blossom, learn how to focus on herself and be involved in activities she never dreamed of.
