@donkeydicked This video is a moving reflection of a life lived to help other who are so unfortunate that they have spent their entire existance unable to see the world. Fred Hollows was an amazing man who cured blindness for many people and his instatite has cured over 100'000. Unfortunately he passes before he could help you, because it is very evident through your disgusting comment that you are blind to the sight of a man nothing short of a hero.
I'm a very emotional person, I think if I had the skills and knowledge to restore sight like that and I did so, I think I'd cry tears of joy knowing I've changed someone's life.
Doing eye surgery on a person in 3rd world countries is just as important as doin eye sugery on a Prime Minster or King these are VERY POWERFUL AND AMAZING WORDS R.I.P OLD MATE :'(
People always said to me, Whats the point of donating to charity, its not like it does anything, we dont see anything happening. I used to and still do say, the best things in life we cannot see, nor touch. but we can see some thing, how about you donate to the Fred hollows foundation and let somone else see the world outside!
Truly an excellent bloke. That ad is so moving to me every time I watch it. I reckon to be blind then suddenly be fixed by someone of that foundation or the man himself would be one of the greatest things ever.
He was a man who just wanted to help. A man that was so dedicated to making a difference and if he wasn't put on this earth, the world would of never of known of somebody as good as Fred Hollows. We can only thank the reason he was put on this earth. Rest in Peace.
one word to describe this man: Hero. "Every eye is an eye, when you are doing surgery, it is just as impotent as if you were to do surgery on the Prime Minster, or the king".
That phrase will be in my head for the rest of my life.
He is nothing short of a remarkable man. Job well done.
What a amazing man to think how much of a difference one man can make it is just truely amazing, this video brings a tear to the eye, may your legacy keep up the great work buddy R.I.P
its "shine on" by jet. was written about their lead singers father dieing, and from his point of view about how he wants them to live their lives adn not grieve for him. very heavy
Love it. I just love it. and I also love that person below loves that guy saying -"He says he can seequitewell." Fred is a legend. (and i really like that fellow who translates, I wonder what he is doing now.)
that image at 1:48 nearly made me crack :p he was such a beatiful soul to give what he did, to truly change the lives of people in need would be the greatest accomplishment so so much more than fast cars and big houses. I hope I can contrbute not just money but skills to humanity one day soon :)
coming from an artist perspective the gift of sight is so powerful ! something those of us take for granted should be cherished for every second it lasts for those of us who can see RIP FRED HOLLOWS !
he is a true Aussie. and a herom he helped people see light when they couldn't and he gave the hope with out false promises. that is enough to make him a hero in my books
@primazzz thats sad :( he died young ! 63 !!!! I'm curious as to how his work benefited people with bad sight, in the respect of how much better those peoples vision became after being touched by such a great fellow..
I watch this video everyday to remind me that no ones perfect and some people out there need help from people to make life better and you should help i regret not helping my family members that have died blind its not very good cause they die not knowing life .........i luv yooh fred hollows xoxox
man if i could bring back anyone in the world i would choose Fred... now i dont know much about you but i know enough to say that you are my hero... R.I.P Fred Hollows -.-
fred hollows was a great man and touch'd our hearts and deserves a lot of respect from the whole wide world for helping those kids with their sight :)
Fred Hollows was one of the 7 wonders of the world and his death was tragic. To all that are inspired by his story you are special and you care. Donate to Freds Charity. Shine On his career. :)
i want this as my funeral song , fred
hollows - huge inspiration
