Star Light, Star Bright
Imagine you've never seen a star twinkling at night
Or the world around you that shines so bright
Imagine being born without sight
And the struggles and challenges of life in this plight
But somewhere there is HOPE
Across oceans, on the other side of the world
There is HOPE

Mason Lopes, born Sept. 9, 2010, was born blind, because his optic nerves(the bridge between the brain and the eye) did not fully develop during his womb time. American doctors tell you there is nothing you can do, it is what it is.
But, in China they have a different idea. Something can be done, and is being done.
Stem cell treatments.
Not only is this helping these beautiful children regain some vision, but also helping their overall brain development and confidence soar.

The cost of the treatment is $30,000. We would like to bring Mason by the time he is 5 years old.
This is where our Mission for Vision begins for baby Mason. We will be doing lots of fundraising to raise the money, or you can make a donation!

Christmas!!

Mason got glasses right before Christmas..not sure if they are making a difference, but his optometrist said, it can't hurt, and I'd have to agree! He really doesn't mind them at all, which is great!

Slowly but surely we are earning the money for China!

2012 will be an amazing year, I can't wait to see what surprises are in store for us, we have big, big, goals ahead of us, and we need all of your support! We are so blessed to have so many loving, supportive people in our lives!
