Enchroma: Color for my Husband!
Imagine going your whole life and never seeing the difference when the tired greens of Summer foliage give way to the fresh scarlet of Autumn leaves. I'd like to give my husband, Michael, the gift of color. Oh, he fought me on it!! "I've always been this way, " he said, "so I don't know what I'm missing." But last week all that changed! He saw the ophthalmologist, got a new prescription and this week he gave me the Green Light to start up a GoFundMe to raise the funds for Enchroma glasses for him! Michael's lost so much in life - his health - the least I can give him is the wonderful gift of color!!! Please contribute if you can and share, share, share on social media. It'll be a dream come true for both Michael...and me. Thank you!!!
The Enchromas came! Thanks to all of you who donated, Michael now sees COLOR! His Enchroma glasses arrived yesterday and he was apprehensive. I don't think he wanted to get his hopes up too high, plus he didn't know what he'd been missing. Carefully he opened the package and my husband, who NEVER cries, took one look through the Enchromas and started sobbing. He took them off and composed himself. Then he put them on again and started crying again. He spent the rest of the day just LOOKING at everything ... the trees, the sky, the house, YouTube, exclaiming at the vividness of the color on something as simple as a sparrow or a Hall's cough drop bag!!! He said, "It's like I've been looking at the world through murk for fifty years." THANK YOU all again for changing his life. Thank you for giving him the precious gift of color! We never could have afforded Enchromas without you and Michael would never have spent that much money on himself! He's SO looking forward to seeing Spring flowers and Autumn leaves!
