I was blind as a bat without my glasses, extremely nearsighted, but out went the other lens, and I went around in a world of blur for about a week.
Another friend came to see me, and in front of my mother, poked her fingers through my glasses frames and asked where my lenses were!
My mom was shocked and told me that I didn’t have to do that, and we went and got new glasses for me that day. Crazy! © ShermanOakz / Reddit
I didn’t know about this, but it was really upsetting to find out as a kid just how bad things were.
I couldn’t buy all of the $1 items other kids got at school during book fairs or extra items for lunch.
I’m really grateful for everything my mom has done for me now, though, and I try to do as much as I can to support her. © LtWolf926 / Reddit
