What if the test was built for an ability you never had?

For millions of children, that question is not hypothetical. They are expected to learn, read, and keep up in classrooms when the real barrier is one that often goes uncorrected: they cannot clearly see the board, the page, or the words in front of them. They are labeled as “behind,” when the problem is not effort or intelligence. It is access.

Today is Giving Tuesday, and this year carries rare national momentum for Vision To Learn. We were named one of only three organizations nationwide to receive the 2025 Holiday Impact Prize from Nicholas Kristof for measurable, life-changing impact for children.

That recognition is not about an award. It is about the students who finally realize they are not failing, they just couldn't see.

Today, your support helps turn blur into clarity, discouragement into confidence, and labels into possibility.

Give today to multiply your donation and help more children see clearly!

👓 Mystery solved, clarity restored!

Yesterday’s blurry board? This is what it looks like when that 20/200 vision is corrected with the right prescription glasses.

For those students that struggle with vision but don't know it or can't afford to fix it, it’s not just words on a chalkboard; it’s their path to learning, confidence, and opportunity. 💙

Thanks to our donors, partners, and community for helping us make that difference for them so they can focus on their future!

We promise, this blur has nothing to do with today’s internet outage. 👀

For millions of kids, school looks like this every day until they get their glasses, but with partners like Bloomberg Philanthropies and Warby Parker, we are bringing those glasses to kids in underserved communities who need them and can't afford them!

Take your best guess and answer in the comments, we’ll clear things up tomorrow. 👓

👓📚 Back-to-School Tip! 📚👓
As students head back to school, healthy vision is more important than ever. Long hours of reading, computer work, and screen time can cause eye strain.
Remember the 20/20/20 Rule:
➡️ Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
It’s a simple way to give your eyes a break and keep them ready for learning all year long!
