Today\u2019s show is brought to you by Aura Frames. Aura Frames: the gift that brings your favorite holiday traditions and memories to life every day. \ud83c\udf99\ufe0f This is our annual charitable giving show, and we\u2019re proud to announce that our 2025 giving selection is the life-changing vision restoration campaign from The Fred Hollows Foundation, supported by Causeway\u2019s $10 million matching challenge.Today, we\u2019re talking about something that affects millions\u2014and could very well affect someone you know and love. Because around the world, more than 43 million people are blind\u2014and the shocking truth is, nine out of ten of those cases are entirely preventable. Imagine being unable to see your grandchildren\u2019s faces\u2026 or having to stop working or reading simply because your sight failed\u2014and no one was there to help. That\u2019s the reality in places like Ethiopia and Cambodia, where basic eye care is often out of reach. But it doesn\u2019t have to stay that way. Joining us today are two remarkable people: Andrea Galan, Executive Director of The Fred Hollows Foundation USA\u2014one of the world\u2019s most trusted vision-restoration organizations\u2014and Doug Heske, CEO of Causeway, whose platform is helping fuel a $10 million matching campaign to restore sight to tens of thousands. We\u2019ll hear how cataract surgeries costing less than $25 are getting people back to work, how a simple pair of eyeglasses can keep a child in school, and how every dollar you give right now can go twice as far thanks to this match. And we\u2019ll ask something simple: How can we help? This is about dignity, legacy, and action. It\u2019s about doing something measurable and meaningful\u2014especially at the end of the year, when so many of us are thinking about how to give back. So stay tuned\u2014this one\u2019s personal, powerful, and filled with hope. Here now is our conversation with Andrea Galan and Doug Heske. \ud83c\udf99\ufe0f I\u2019m your host, Paul Vogelzang, and this is The Not Old Better Show.
