Kids Vision for Life St. Louis

🎉 Celebrating 15 Remarkable Years at KVFL! 🎉

This year marks an extraordinary milestone for Kids Vision for Life St. Louis as we celebrate our 15th anniversary. Since 2009, our innovative mobile vision program has been dedicated to providing high-quality eye care to children in need within underserved school districts.

In honor of this momentous occasion, we're launching a pivotal campaign with the goal of raising $15,000. These funds are crucial for continuing our mission to provide comprehensive vision care—covering everything from vision screenings to eye exams to prescription eyeglasses, and pediatric vision care referrals to Washington University.

Your contribution can make an indelible impact.  By donating, you are not only supporting our ongoing efforts but ensuring that each child we serve receives the vital eye care necessary to excel.

Let's celebrate 15 years of vision and care by making a profound difference together. Donate now and be a part of a brighter, more promising future for these deserving children. 🌟

KVFL is a mobile vision care program that provides vision screenings, eye exams, and prescription eyeglasses to children in over 20 school districts across St. Louis. This school year marks KVFL's 15th year of delivering accessible eye care to children who would otherwise not have the means to obtain it. Without glasses, children with poor vision are at a major disadvantage. Vision impairment not only affects a child's ability to see but also contributes to poor school attendance, lower grades, and a higher incidence of repeating grades. KVFL works with children enrolled in Pre-K through high school so that no child has to struggle to see the board or read their books. By providing the gift of sight to our most vulnerable children, the opportunities are endless. It must start with our children.

Children who need glasses struggle with blurry vision, the inability to focus, and headaches. Kids Vision for Life St. Louis needs your support to continue providing glasses to children in need. Donate today!

"I had one of my first graders receive his glasses from KVFL, he was elated! He was shocked at what he could see. He said, "I don't have to look out of the side of my eye to see anymore." Thanks so much KVFL for helping this child and every child at our school."

-St. Louis Public School District Nurse

"The teachers are very excited when the students get their new glasses! They say they see a real difference in their students' school work and attention. We are so grateful for KVFL!"
