Dear friends and patrons of Resolution Eye Care,
It is hard to believe that it has been three months since the tornado hit our office. It feels as though it were a lifetime ago or perhaps these last months have felt as though we have been living in a different lifetime.
Nevertheless, since then our position has improved tremendously. In the span of a mere 90 days we vacated the premises at 960 Woodland, had our lease terminated, and found very promising possible locations for our new home. As to which, you have our word that moving forward we will do everything in our power to relocate near the former location so that once we are operational again, we will be able to provide the same exceptional service to the same exceptional community we treated prior to the tornado.
Much of that movement has been made possible on account of Hartford Insurance. They have allowed us to handle the shifting landscape without additional injury or expense. For which we are grateful.
However in the same few days, as a nation we have experienced a pandemic, an international lockdown, mass layoffs with its attendant prospect of economic downturn, as well as the freshly reopened wounds of racism and police distrust.
In light of these many difficulties that face us as a nation, we at Resolution Eye Care have felt it best to refund your GoFundMe contributions that you may in turn reinvest in the worthy cause of your choice.
It is difficult to express how humbled and grateful we are to each of you for your outpouring of love. Perhaps in a different time, that generosity and our simple gratitude would have been sufficient. However, it is plainly no ordinary time and thus ordinary responses fail to suffice.
Please know that it is impossible to erase our gratitude and this refund in no way alters the deep appreciation we feel for you all. It is simply that our needs are met and others needs are not.
Please then give to them in the same spirit you gave to us and know that in doing so, it won’t diminish your gift to us but rather multiply it. You will have given not only our team the benefit of your love and care, but you will also do so for someone else in greater need than we are.
We are confident that people as tremendously generous as yourselves will find it an easy task.
Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers, you remain in ours.
