The local need in Tulsa

In Tulsa, thousands of residents are affected by vision impairments, with many lacking access to essential support services. Neighborhoods with higher populations of seniors, such as Brookside and Tulsa Hills, report significant gaps in accessible transit options and low-vision clinics. Many individuals struggle with daily tasks due to limited resources and lack of awareness about available services. With the right support, these individuals can lead independent and fulfilling lives, but the need for services is critical and ongoing.
