This is Violet, the charming inspiration behind Violet Sees. An alert pediatrician detected Violet's blindness at her two month check-up, and the family was able to access help early to help restore Violet's vision. More about Violet's story here:
It was great to connect over coffee and lunch at Whiskey Gulch Coffee Pub on the waterfront in Port Orchard and to learn more about the work Violet Sees is doing to support children. They screen for preventable childhood blindness and help to defray the costs of exams and glasses.

OurGEMS
​Girls Empowered Through Mentoring and Service
Vicki Collins (holding check), Founder and Vice President of OurGEMS, with members: Lisa Johnson (with Scooby), Kathy Campbell, Liz Sebren, Jeri Searle, and Alan Searle.
from OurGEMS website:
When Girls Understand Their Value
We believe the way girls perceive their own worth/value will have a profound effect on every area of their lives.
Our culture sends conflicting messages that distort and taint our girls’ view of who a woman should be.
When girls understand
their value and worth
they will conduct themselves differently.
They will think differently.
They will make a difference.
We want to instill in them
a deep and lasting knowledge of
who they are
in this society.
​
They are
