2022 budget needs
2022 is a big year for us! Here are two new areas of expenditure on top of our ordinary monthly expenses:
PAYROLL: The Foundation now employs a part-time administrative assistant, our only paid employee. In addition to providing general administrative support, Cindy is playing an important new supportive role in our Dry Eye Helpline service. Your financial support enables us to offer better support to patients who are struggling.
EXHIBITS AT MEDICAL CONFERENCES: This is a first for us! We are excited for these opportunities to raise awareness in the ophthalmology and optometry community. These are not cheap activities, though - between booth rental, equipment, airfare, hotel and other costs, our total costs are about $10,000 for the two events, so we would really appreciate your support! p.s. Be sure to let your eye doctor know we’ll be there, so they can look for us!
