Giving Back: Help Mercy
Have you or someone you love had cataracts? In Sierra Leone, over 100,000 people, young and old, are blind due to cataracts or a parasite called river blindness. Rug Pad Wizard supports the Help Mercy Foundation, whose surgeons restore sight on mission trips.

What if you were blind and no one helped?
In Sierra Leone children, teens and adults can have cataracts or a parasite called river blindness. When you are blind you become homeless and have to beg, only to die in the streets.
I am Doug Hewitt, the owner of Rug Pad Wizard, and my own eye surgeon, Lloyd B. Williams, MD, PhD, Founder and Chairman of Help Mercy, needs our help to perform as many cataract surgeries as possible on his mission trips.
For the holiday, in lieu of a gift, Rug Pad Wizard is contributing to the Help Mercy Foundation. Please join us in curing blindness in babies, the elderly, and many, many others in Sierra Leone.
You can save one person's sight
If each of you contributed just one cent per yard on your purchases, together we could offer over $10,000 of help.
You can contribute through Help Mercy International, based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Other ways to help
- Contribute a portion of your Association of Rug Care Specialists (ARCS) rebate at the end of the year. Ask Rug Pad Wizard how.
