My Limitless Vision Foundation
As a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, MLV Foundation's mission is to connect the visually impaired and blind to enhance lives, encourage independence, and expand awareness, beginning in Oklahoma and extending to the four-state region of Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Arkansas.
There are over 400,000 visually impaired or blind in the four-state region. Unfortunately, the blind and visually impaired often find themselves isolated. MLV Foundation Inc hopes to help meet this underserved population's social and emotional needs and help give them purpose and flourish. We will strive to be independently funded and be great stewards of what we are blessed with. We are a 100% volunteer ran organization supported via donations and fundraisers with a board of directors comprised of blind/visually impaired and sighted people.
