#60 - Jen Anderson

When Violet was just a few weeks old, her parent—Jen and Mike Anderson—found out she was blind. They also found out that 80% of blindness is treatable and preventable. Through proper medical care and attention, Violet received her eyesight back! During our conversation, Jen shares what it was like to go through that experience and how that season of life pushed her toward starting Violet Sees—a non-profit committed to “giving free glasses to kids who need them, working to expand and improve vision screening programs so more kids can be screened as early as possible, and providing funding to continue research to find the best treatments possible for childhood vision conditions.” Find out more about the work Violet Sees is doing by visiting their website and by liking their Facebook page.  Follow Let’s Give A Damn on Facebook, Instagram, & Twitter to keep up with all that is going on.
