Success Stories
Through the contributions of its generous supporters, the Knights Templar Eye Foundation, Inc. has helped
tens of thousands of needy individuals who could not otherwise have continued to enjoy "The Gift of Sight."
Here are
but a few examples of correspondence that we have received.
"I would like to express my humble thanks for the great work that your Foundation renders. Without your
help my mother would be partially blind. Thanks again for all your help."
"My sister was in need of eye surgery, but she had no money for it, and it was a big problem.
I just want to send a thank you message to you for giving her this wonderful gift. You have given her so much more,
also: You have given her back the independence she so needed, her self worth, and the ability to continue to watch her grandchildren
grow.
You have, also, given me a much stronger belief in God. You see, only three years ago our
mother passed away. We were both very close to her, and since my sister has been sick most of her life, I believe my
mother left me here to take care of her; however, my sister is a strong person, for she consoled me in the darkest times since
our Mother has gone.
I just wanted you to know what you have given to our family is much more than you
know. My sister is not able to write a letter yet, but we expect she will soon be able to do so.
On behalf of my sister, I would like to day: Thank you is not enough for what you have done. God bless you."
"I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the previous and present grant you have given my son
Blaine to stop his eye deterioration due to glaucoma.
The cost of drops to keep the pressure down has
averaged about $90.00 per month, not to mention paying for monthly doctor visits.
I wish I could have
financed his surgery, but with Blaine having no insurance and my living on Medicare it seemed impossible.
I want to donate this small amount and hope your wonderful organization will continue to help others. You are helping
Blaine to keep the 10% vision he has left in both eyes."
