Orientation & Mobility (O&M) is the most often used service within the Lighthouse, providing vital training that allows people who are blind and DeafBlind to navigate their personal and professional environments safely and efficiently. 

To continue providing these vital services, and to expand them to meet the needs of a growing population, we rely on the generosity of individuals like YOU. Our goal is to raise $125,000 by August 7th – will you help us reach our goal?  

Our O&M Program provides more than just skills; it offers the gift of independence. It’s the transformative experience of learning to navigate a world that seems unfamiliar, to walk with purpose, to step into a future without barriers.

Your generosity is an essential part of this. Gifts to our O&M Program allow us to continue providing, adapting, and expanding this life-changing program to those who need it most. Your gift fuels the tools, the training, and the trust that empowers individuals to live on their own terms.

With your help, we can ensure these critical resources remain accessible to those who need them. Helping people who are blind live not only with dignity and independence, but with the knowledge that they can do whatever they set their minds to. 

Come celebrate the campaign with us at our Summer Garden Party on Thursday, August 7th, from 4:30-7:30 pm, in our Ethel L. Dupar Fragrant Garden, at our Seattle facility. Meet with program staff and fellow supporters to celebrate the success of our Spring Campaign! Eat some delicious food, participate in an exciting raffle, take a tour, experience using a white cane, and learn all about the programs and services available for Lighthouse employees and the greater community. RSVP online today.
