 Taking Back Life
By Mary
I really feel like
I’m somebody, and that this isn’t the end.
Thanks
to Vision Support Services, I am able to say this even though I have lost
my sight. Through their support and dedication to providing adjustment to
vision loss, and educational, social, and employment services to visually
impaired persons; VSS has opened me to a whole new world.
When
I first came to VSS by recommendation from my nurses at the hospital, I
was a little scared and became discouraged with simple tasks. Because I
received so much encouragement I have gained self-confidence and am now a
member of “Wrapped in Love” a group that makes pillow quilts for
foster children in our area.
Because
of the encouragement to be independent I am also able to be more active in
my everyday life by taking walks with my son, going to the park, being
involved in my church, and attending a week long summer camp for the
visually impaired.
I
just can’t say enough good things about Vision Support Services and now
I feel like I can do anything. Contributions to the United Way can give
other people in my situation the same great feeling. Thank you for giving
me my life back.
