YCG understands that the battle against vision loss is not just a global issue—it’s a pressing concern right here in our own communities.

According to data from the CDC, NIH, and research conducted by East Tennessee State University, approximately 195,000 Tennesseans are blind or visually impaired, facing daily challenges even with corrective lenses. Vision impairment ranks among the most common disabilities in older adults, significantly impacting both physical and cognitive health.

Nationwide, nearly 12 million older Americans live with vision loss—a number projected to double by 2050.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also highlights the staggering economic impact, with vision impairment costing the U.S. economy $145 billion annually. Even more alarming, 70% of visually impaired individuals are unemployed.

These numbers make one thing clear: the need for local support has never been greater.

That’s why You Cane Give (YCG) is committed to creating meaningful change—not just globally, but right here at home in Tennessee. When you make a purchase through YCG, you’re directly supporting your neighbors—your local brothers and sisters—who face these challenges every day.
