“I was delighted & it was an unexpected gift to get my glasses through AINAK. The doctor was great at solving issues I had in the past & the entire process was smooth, professional & effortless. I was happy to safely drive again with my new glasses. Thanks to such a great organization!”

“I was born in San Michael, El Salvador. I came to America 10 years ago and being an immigrant made it difficult to find eye insurance…being in a financial bind made it even more difficult. But thanks to AINAK this is the first time I have seen an optometrist and I am now a proud owner of glasses… [which] made my job much easier to do. Thank you AINAK!”

“Hello my name is Osmar and I just wanted to thank this non-profit organization for helping people like myself out here to get us a pair of reading glasses… because I haven’t worn glasses and my sight has gotten worse… thanks to you guys I was able to get my eye exam after 15-16 years of not owning a pair of glasses now I will receive not one but two and I’m very grateful. Thanks, to this I can move forward to getting my driver’s license… I failed my basic eye exam at the DMV and was denied my license until I had my glasses and now, I will certainly do that…thank you for everything and may God bless you with triple.”

Sosefina Leapaga is a single mother of 5 from American Samoa. She was so excited to receive her glasses because she could not afford insurance to see an optometrist. She uses to drive and unfortunately had to stop due to lack of eye vision. She overheard me telling a friend about free eye glasses. She was interested, and thanks to Mrs. Poonam Goyal and the free services of AINAK she was able to restore her vision by gaining two pairs of glasses from AINAK. “You guys are amazing!”

“Thanks to the AINAK foundation. Today I was able to get a pair of glasses that I really needed. Thanks, Poonam Goyal.”
“Gracias a la fundación Ainak. Hoy pude obtener un par de lentes que me hacían mucha falta. Gracias Poonam Goyal.”

“Just thinking of you today because it’s cloudy outside and my glasses are helping me feel safe while I drive. I had lasik surgery a few years ago but it did not work out well for me. Thank you so much for providing me with two pairs of prescription eyeglasses. I had been experiencing financial hardship and was unable to get my own pair. It was because of your program I now have two pairs of glasses. I keep one in my car for night time driving and one on me when I need them for distance. They are really helpful and I also feel more at ease driving at night.”

“Andrea is a recipient of eyeglasses from AINAK. She was finding it difficult to follow her lessons during the remote school year, so her school district called AINAK and asked us to help her. Additionally, she was in a difficult situation since she was on the food voucher program in her school and her parents could not read or write outside of Spanish.
After her visit with the optometrist, she was diagnosed with a condition called astigmatism. However, after receiving a new pair of prescription eyeglasses from AINAK, she can stay confident that her eye condition will improve. She was so happy to receive the new eyeglasses that she mailed a video to thank AINAK.”

“This is Eldana… My eye vision had gone super blurry when I turned 11. Unfortunately, it was merely impossible to see clearly in class which prevented me from learning. I got a pair of glasses when I was 12 which resulted in them breaking a year later… I couldn’t see anything on my classroom board. I tried to find a place for glasses but couldn’t find one…Me and my family looked for months and still couldn’t find a place we could get glasses without losing too much money until my best friend (a member of the non-profit organization) referred me to the AINAK. I had the fastest process associated with my health. I got an eye exam and had the choice to pick out glasses I personally liked… After a short amount of time, I received my glasses and I’m super thrilled to have them. I didn’t need to pay anything which I’m extremely grateful for. I love the glasses because they help me see perfectly, are a perfect size, and look amazing. The employees were all so kind.”

“This organizations’ mission is to help people get better eyesight for little to no cost which stands out to me as I have been personally struggling with poor vision for 13 years … to see an organization give people the help they need to get glasses for free sticks with me. This is a great mission that helped me receive free glasses at a time when I was unable to get a new pair of glasses and had to use the same pair of glasses for 7 years. This is a great organization and I would 100% recommend it to others in need of help.”

“Upon receiving my glasses from AINAK, I realized how much my eyeshade really changed in a few years. Now I am able to see better and focus longer on my graduate school (online) and my job interviews, as I perform a lot of detailed work in my trade. Thank you AINAK Eyewear for the attractive and highly functional glasses so I can function well!”

“Because my school is online, I did not know I was unable to focus well before getting my glasses. Now anything from catching up with my friends playing games online to schoolwork is much clearer thanks to my glasses from AINAK Eyewear. Everyone was really nice there and made me feel comfortable.”

“I got connected with Ainak through another organization that helps women in their professional development. I lost my job and experienced a traumatic event that changed my life. I lost everything including my social and professional network. My priorities changed which meant getting an eye exam was not important. I was wearing outdated glasses for years and noticed my vision getting blurry again. Ainak helped me get a much-needed eye exam. I am happy to have clear vision and enjoy my new spectacles. Thank you to Ainak for giving me back 20/20 vision.”

“THANK YOU so much for your wonderful organization ‘AINAK’. Because of you, I’m able to drive at night again for the first time in a few years. I feel so free and my mom is happy that I can spend more time with her in the evening. It was a bonus to meet you and the professional staff at the Optometrist’s office… I greatly appreciate your generosity. Best to you always.”
