We are a diverse, motivated team at EYE C U INC, driven by our mission to make life accessible for all. Our founder's personal journey, overcoming challenges to recovery, inspires our dedication.

Rooted in this passion, we aim to create a barrier-free living environment, especially for disabled individuals in rural, underserved, and underprivileged areas lacking essential resources and support. Our founder's experience highlighted the critical need for transportation and adaptive equipment, highlighting the struggle to access basic necessities.

Recognizing the scarcity of resources, we founded this organization to educate, raise awareness, and connect individuals to vital support. By directly impacting those in need, we hope to foster healing and alleviate daily challenges for individuals like our founder.

UNDERSTANDING OUR GOALS

One out of every five Americans lives with a disability. The EYE C U INC is actively working to ensure that anyone who lives with this struggle is provided with the tools and resources needed to meet their educational, employment, and independent living goals. We use the legal framework of the Americans with Disabilities Act to build the scope of our work while diving more deeply into achieving the following goals.

1. We fight to restore independence in the lives of those impacted by disabilities and diseases. We also work to ensure their schools and workplaces are accessible. Our team achieves this by working with companies that develop assistive technology and other resources to help those living with a disability meet their goals in these areas. We find resources to fund our process by seeking grants, private donors, and other sources to build the resources needed to fund these efforts. Together we can work towards cures to make a difference in the disabled community.
2. We strive to provide knowledge and resources for those with sensory impairments, as well as educate the communities they live in so they can better understand the value of accessible technology. We work to find up-to-date information and disseminate it to the public to ensure they are aware of what they can do to incorporate assistive technology into their own businesses, educational institutions, and other areas.
