My aunt who lives in North Carolina needs glasses but can't afford them. Medicare will not pay for them, she also has a heart problem and really needs the glasses. Is there any place near Wallace,NC that can help her?

Try contacting the lions club. Around here, they will do what they can to help pay for glasses for people who can't afford to get them.

You can also try asking the salvation army and catholic charities if they know of any place that can help.

OK, your aunt, silly question, can you not help some, perhaps her other family members, everyone kick in 10 bucks and soon it is paid for
