Life Changing Stories and Testimonials

---

Thank you for the Onyx Video magnifier. This is a gift of life for me!

I  have been designing and creating needlework since the age of seven years. Therefore, my vision loss was painful. With the aid of this magnifier I have resumed many projects. One of my favorite’s charitable works is creating quilts for the Children’s Crisis Center here in Duluth. This service is for children from infancy to twelve years. These children have been legally removed from their homes. Quilts equal  comfort. The Center tries to give one to each child when they return to their homes.

Much love from beautiful Duluth.

I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the Topaz desktop video magnifier you acquired for me. . . .

I recently had surgery on both eyes for cataracts and glaucoma and shots and other procedures for wet macular degeneration.
I  can’t live without a CCTV. I use it for hours daily. I am treasurer of  one group and head the finance committee here at our senior co-op.
I know CCTV’s are expensive and I have never been able to afford a new one, so your help is very much appreciated.

Dear Eye-Link,

This  letter is to express my appreciation for the Dell Inspiron 15-3000 series laptop, you provided to me. The lap top along with software and training from the State of Minnesota Services for the Blind has enabled me to read printed documents by way of a scanner. This has enabled me to read printed material I would otherwise never been able to acess. I can now  read newspaper ads, articles, etc, do e-mail and hopefully much more as  I continue to learn.

This gift has truly made a difference!

When David needed to travel or run errands, such as getting groceries, he relied on a sighted companion to assist him 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, which greatly increased his independence.

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.

Eye-Link does not receive any monies or assistance from federal or state agencies. We are a 501c3 non profit organization that relies entirely on our donors' contributions. 

Our all-volunteer board of directors are a dedicated group of professionals, many who are part of the eye care industry and state agencies for assistance for the blind.
