 What was your hardest subject in school? Math? Writing? Just think about how hard it would have been to tackle that subject if you couldn't even see the chalkboard, or hear the teacher.
It seems pretty simple. A child who can't see or hear can't succeed. And the experts tell us, experiencing success early in school is critical to succeeding....in life!
 That's why since 1987, the KEX Kids Fund has provided vision and hearing care - examinations, eyeglasses and hearing aids - to children whose families cannot otherwise provide them. We work with a network of care providers who offer their services at reduced costs, which means we're able to provide a pair of glasses for $100, a hearing aid for $800.
Our program is completely funded by donations from individuals, organizations and local businesses and operates with very little overhead.
 Thousands of kids from 14 counties in Oregon and Southwest Washington have benefited. We hear frequency from them and their families. Their letters often tell of children who had never done well in school, but who immediately became excellent students simply because they were given glasses or hearing aids.
But it can't happen without your help. Costs continue to rise; the number of children in need continues to grow. You can help them by filling out the donation form below and contributing what you can to the KEX Kids Fund. It might be the simplest writing or math problem you've ever had! And we'll do the rest - working with all of the schools to identify the kids in need, ten connecting them with vision and hearing care professionals.
 We think helping these kids succeed early in life might actually prevent much larger problems later on. Glasses and hearing aids might be all it takes. Like we said, it seems pretty simple. |
