Help Chris get E sight glasses

Donation protected
Hi my name is Chris. I  was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at the age of twenty-one. I am currently fifty and have learned that  E-sight has developed glasses to help people like me .  I had one of the best days of my life today! Liz my wife Ilse my daughter and I went to Omaha to attend Outlook Nebraska's first community resource fair for people dealing with vision loss. After hearing many things about a new type of glasses on the market to help legally blind people like myself, I was finally able to try on a pair of e-sight glasses. I didn't think that I myself would ever get the opportunity to try on a pair of these because there are so few of them out there. I can honestly say that this was the first time in my life that I was able to see in detail my 10 year old daughters face, and was able to see my wife's face in detail that I haven't been able to see for I don't know how long. They told me I didn't stop smiling the whole time I had them on. I really didn't think that I was missing much in life with my vision the way it is because I'm so used to it, but today as I looked around with these glasses on I actually realized how much I am missing out on. It was amazing to see things clearly instead of everything just being blurry. I would have never thought that a pair of these (what I call miracle) glasses could turn a legally blind person into someone with near perfect vision. They were truly Incredible glasses with a truly incredible price....... $15,000 for a pair of them. (Yes, that's exactly what I thought). Oh well, I feel truly blessed to at least have been able to actually try them on and see what life is like again. It was great while it lasted. A day I will never forget. I would be truly grateful to everyone that could help me, it would be like a gift to me everyday  for the rest of my life. Thankyou
