maybe a dumb question reguarding eye wear

[organdoner]

since the wife passed i donated her kick around clothes to shelters etc. her nice clothes. some brand spanking new. i found a consignment shop that was really fair. my wife bought new eye glasses every year. there are over 50 glasses in perfect condidion. my question is. is there somewhere maybe a third world country or whatever i could donate these glasses ? i guess people have to have an en exam but i hate to just toss them if they could be of a help to someone. i don't want money for them just some ideas of who to give them to.

so sorry to hear about your loss. i would google orphanages n central america and see who can use them. They could have a volunteer or mssonary take it down to them.

what was your wife's favorite country outside the states?
