Fourteen years ago, I began my journey with Lighthouse for the Blind as an intern. Over the years, I had the privilege of working as an ASL interpreter in the DeafBlind program and, two years ago, I was honored to join the Board of Directors for the Lighthouse for the Blind Foundation. I truly believe in the incredible work Lighthouse does, providing meaningful employment opportunities for hundreds of blind and low vision individuals in Seattle and Spokane. Your gift, no matter the size, makes a real difference—just $100 can help someone gain the skills to live independently in their own home.
In 2020, thanks to pivotal support from our community, The Lighthouse for the Blind, Inc. launched the Low Vision Services Program to address a critical and rapidly growing need. Since that time, we have provided life-changing services to more than 2,500 individuals who are blind or have low vision, ensuring they receive the
support, care, and resources to live with greater independence.
To make this more exciting- Ben and I will be matching donations up to $1000- so your donation will double!
In addition, I’ll be hosting a jewelry-making fundraising event in Seattle this July. If you would like an invitation, please contact me directly. Your support is deeply appreciated!
