The Trucks For Maddox Optical Assistance Fund is available at the UPMC Children's Eye Clinic to ensure that all children have access to the eyeglasses they need, especially if their family is experiencing financial hardship. This fund provides glasses to children who are underinsured, without insurance or who cannot afford the out-of-pocket cost.
In the last two years, the Optical Assistance Fund has provided more than $79,000 in financial support to local families and distributed more than 686 pairs of eyeglasses.
No family should have to make the decision on whether they can provide their child vision needs due to lack of insurance coverage. Our goal is to help lift the financial burden, give the gift of clearer vision, and help OUR community.
