Presentation of the May-June 2025 Report - GlobalGiving

We are pleased to present the report for the period May-June 2025, made possible by the valuable support received through the GlobalGiving platform. This document highlights the tangible impact your generosity has had on the lives of older people facing significant vision loss, which directly affected their independence, safety and participation in family and community life.

During these two months, ACREC performed 44 ophthalmological surgeries that allowed women and men in vulnerable situations to recover their vision and, with it, their independence and dignity. Each intervention represented an opportunity to improve quality of life, prevent accidents, reduce social isolation and slow the deterioration associated with visual impairment.

The report combines quantitative data with first-hand testimonies that bring each story to life. People like Lilia, Vexaido, Hayat, Jorge Armando and Abel express their gratitude for how access to surgery allowed them to return to work, take care of themselves or see their loved ones clearly again. These stories reflect an intervention with a social and rights-based approach, guided by respect and equity.

At ACREC, we manage resources with accountability and transparency. Every contribution translates into direct care, clinical follow-up and dignified support for those who face the greatest barriers to access. This is made possible by committed partners like you, who strengthen the reach and impact of our programmes.

Our highly qualified and dedicated medical team works with state-of-the-art technology to ensure accurate diagnoses and safe procedures. We have specialised tools for ophthalmic surgery, vision diagnosis and outpatient care, enabling us to provide quality services even in complex settings. This infrastructure is at the service of those who need it most, under a model of care centred on the person and their rights.

We are deeply grateful for your trust. Your donation, in addition to being an act of generosity, is an investment in health, autonomy and social justice. Thanks to your solidarity, many older adults today see more clearly and live with greater dignity. We will continue to move forward with professionalism, innovation and human commitment towards a fairer future, where everyone has the right to see and be seen.

With gratitude and commitment,
ACREC Team

Benefi

Dear Donor,

On this occasion, we want to make a very special mention. With deep gratitude and great joy, we share the excitement we felt upon receiving a significant and unexpected donation in April from an anonymous donor. If you happen to be reading this, please know that your generosity has been the miracle so many eyes were waiting for. Thanks to you, adults in urgent need of surgery will have the chance to regain their sight. Your gesture has deeply touched our hearts and inspires us to continue this beautiful mission of restoring vision. In the coming reports, you’ll see the tangible impact of your support. Thank you for trusting us!

Of course, we also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of our donors—whether you give occasionally or support us on a recurring basis. Every dollar matters and is incredibly valuable in helping us achieve our goals. We wish the need were smaller, but unfortunately, that’s not the case. So we continue working with enthusiasm for the well-being of older adults who depend on us.

Your trust in our work strengthens our determination to transform lives and face the challenges of visual health with hope and commitment.

Thanks to your support, we were able to perform 48 surgeries during this period, restoring light, autonomy, and quality of life to adults who can now once again enjoy their daily activities. Each procedure represents a renewed opportunity to reach personal goals, regain independence, and reconnect with life.

Your contribution is not just an act of kindness—it is the driving force behind our daily efforts. Seeing how your support results in real, life-changing outcomes motivates us and deepens our commitment to those who need it most.

At ACREC, we take pride in managing every resource with responsibility and transparency, ensuring that each peso received translates into the greatest possible impact. Your support is more than a number—it is a symbol of trust that guides us toward a fairer, more inclusive future for all.

We invite you to continue walking with us in this transformative mission. Thank you for believing in our work and for leaving an unforgettable mark on every recovered sight.

With affection and gratitude.

Older adults are an essential pillar of our community, with knowledge and experiences that enrich our environment. However, as they reach this stage, they may face health problems that affect their well-being and autonomy.

Attending to their needs involves not only providing medical care, but also recognizing their value and guaranteeing them a dignified and respectful environment.

Strengthening your family and community ties is key to healthy and fulfilling aging.

Visual health is a fundamental aspect that influences their quality of life. Good vision allows them to enjoy their daily activities with safety and confidence. Ensuring this care not only improves their physical well-being, but also their self-esteem and independence.

Caring for our elders is a commitment to those who built the present. To promote their well-being is to move towards a more just, humane and caring society for all.

It is an honor to write to you to express our sincere appreciation for your valuable support during the months of January and February. Your confidence in our work encourages us to continue transforming lives and providing hope to those who face great challenges.

Thanks to your generosity through the GlobalGiving platform, we have been able to benefit 43 senior citizens with eye surgeries at the beginning of this year.

For us, your contribution is an act of solidarity that motivates us to expand our reach and strengthen our actions. Seeing the tangible impact of your support fills us with inspiration.

We are proud to manage every resource with responsibility and transparency, ensuring that each donation generates the greatest possible impact. Your support is not just a number; it is the light that guides the way to a more just future full of opportunity.

We invite you to continue to be part of this transformative mission. Together, we can build a world where no one's life is limited by a preventable visual impairment. Thank you for trusting in our work and for being a fundamental pillar of this project. Your help has left an indelible mark on many lives, and for that, we are deeply grateful.

With affection and gratitude,

ACREC
