Glasses for mates

Most of my friends are pensioners living in australia and really can't afford the cost of new glasses. My hope here is to raise enough for one friend in particular, but also for a couple of others that are in the same predicament. Depending on how successfull this bid is, i will look for others that i can help who live locally (or at least in the same state). Please help me do this as it would be a tangable way to better the lives of those in need.
