Do you know that your eyes can keep seeing even after you are gone?

When Johnson lost most of his sight in an unfortunate work place accident, his whole world seemed to crumble. He had been so happy when he got the job at the new paint factory three months before. No more unpaid bills accumulating, no more hungry nights for his parents and siblings, he could even put aside a little money to go back to the university like he had always wanted to. It was pretty sad watching his dreams of ever leading a normal life fade away. But just when he was starting to drown in the abyss of depression, luck smiled on him in the form of a very special gift which gave him back not just his sight, but also a new lease of life.

Your eyes can keep seeing even after you are gone. It all starts with a decision to give.

What better way to give new life to someone else, than through the gift of sight? Especially when you won't be needing yours anymore, anyway...

"Because the best thing to do with the best things in life is to give them away" (Doris Day)
