Opie tells INSIDE EDITION that his girlfriend found the EnChroma glasses which enable colorblind people to see colors online and he was going to instantly buy them but they were too expensive.
He said, "My girlfriend actually stumbled across them online and tagged me in a link while I was at work, I was going to just instantly buy them but then realized they would cost too much money, my sister ended up setting up a GoFundMe which I knew about but didn't expect anything of."
His sister started a GoFundMe page to purchase them and the last dollar came in on his birthday and she had them rush delivered.
