Thank you for supporting our programs and services to help individuals who are blind and visually impaired obtain and maintain their independence!
“I got a little bit of my soul back.”
If I didn’t go to the Lighthouse, I wouldn’t have known how to be independent, being newly blind. When I first went blind, I thought my life was over. When I went to the Lighthouse, I got a little bit of my soul back.
