For My Child and Others: Because of Balance

As a mother to a child with vision loss and an occupational therapist who has worked closely with individuals navigating similar challenges, I’ve seen firsthand the life-changing impact of support and resources tailored for people with vision loss. This personal journey has led me to join the board of BALANCE for Blind Adults, an organization dedicated to empowering individuals with vision loss to live independently and confidently.

When my child was first diagnosed, I felt an overwhelming mix of concern and uncertainty about what his future might hold. Through my professional experience, I have had the privilege of helping others overcome similar challenges, witnessing how the right support can transform lives. BALANCE for Blind Adults offers exactly this kind of support—programs that build resilience, foster independence, and create a sense of belonging within the community.

Fundraising for the "Because of BALANCE" campaign is my way of giving back to an organization that embodies my personal and professional values. I am passionate about ensuring that BALANCE can continue to provide vital services for individuals with sight loss, helping them lead fulfilling lives. Your support will directly contribute to sustaining and expanding these programs, enabling people like my child to overcome obstacles and thrive. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of so many who rely on BALANCE for Blind Adults.
