Doing His Part to Restore Sight to the Needy

So I know you will be shocked to read this, but seriously Monday mornings are the worst for finding good news stories. Especially after something as big as the Golden Globes apparently. The internet is chock-full of stories about this celebrity's "bored face" and that celebrity's "ugly dress", but nothing positive that I could find. Not to mention ALL the stories were in one way or another judging the females...

BUT that is for another blog and another day, I suppose. Let's just say I'm annoyed.

That being said, I DID eventually find a story for you all and it's a good one. This young man was one of CNN's featured heroes in 2013. His name is Yash Gupta and he collects glasses for kids in need. When the article was written, he had collected 9500 pairs of glasses. How about that? Pretty amazing, if you ask me. Way more amazing than a discussion of what Jennifer Lopez wore last night.

Just saying.

Anyways, here is the video clip: http://www.cnn.com/videos/health/2013/09/05/cnnheroes-gupta.cnn

And here is the website if you want to help. He takes donations of used glasses (duh, how easy is that? I have like three pairs of old glasses sitting in my closet right now) and also can send you a box to set up for free at your local optometrist.

Happy Monday, everyone. Let's make a difference today.
