The gift of sight is something that many people don‘t fully appreciate until they’re faced with the impacts of their own failing sight, or that of their loved ones. Fortunately, sightlessness due to cornea disease or dysfunction is something which can be repaired, and that’s where VisionGift comes in.

On : Robby Holmes was just 19 years old when a BB pellet forever changed how they would view the world. Though his is a story with its fair share of pain and difficulty, it is one worth telling for it is also a story of perseverance, forgiveness, empowerment, and community. As is often the case with tales that bear repeating, degrees of chance and circumstance have conspired to create a story with deeper meaning and a more satisfying resolution involving both men, a new non-profit organization, the local community, and VisionGift.
On
: John, a cornea recipient whose transplant brought a whole new world into view. John lost his sight in a chemical explosion at age 20. For the next 31 years, he lived his life in total darkness. A cornea transplant allowed him to see his now-grown children for the first time. Through tears of joy, he was happy to see that his loving wife Anita had only changed for the better.

VisionGift is celebrating 2025’s achievements through the beauty of data. Reflected in these numbers are the ways that eye tissue donated to the eye bank has impacted our community, and the world.
All work with tissue donations starts with a referral. Our Donor Referral Line operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and every day of the year, ready to spring into action when called upon. They work with the families of tissue donors to honor their wishes by collecting the approval and information necessary to recover the tissue. The journey of each tissue collected can go on one of several routes, and each recovered tissue can provide more than one application.

Today is Juneteenth, a holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. It is also observed for celebrating African-American culture. The holiday is also called “Juneteenth Independence Day,” “Freedom Day” or “Emancipation Day.” Today, and also looking at June being Pride Month, is yet another opportunity for reflection, as well as how we can all show up and band together to work towards a more positive and equitable future for all.
