This month’s client spotlight is on Ace H., Melissa A. and Darlene P. You may recognize them from a recent letter or email you received from our President & CEO Randy Pierce.

Meet Ace from Laconia, NH. He is experiencing peripheral field loss due to a neurological condition. He is now working with one of our Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments (TSVIs) and is thriving with their support.

Meet Melissa from Strafford, NH. She lost vision in her left eye due to an inoperable tumor. She received training from our Occupational Therapists (OTs) and has a successful career in health and wellness.

Meet Darlene from Portsmouth, NH. Her vision is declining due to age-related macular degeneration. With Future In Sight’s support, she continues to cook her favorite recipes and maintains her independence.

The services we provided to these three individuals would not be possible without our supporters. Please consider donating or giving in other ways here: futureinsight.org/waystogive

PD: The first photo is of Ace, a baby boy, with a huge smile on his face. The second photo is of Melissa, a middle-aged woman, with her guide dog, a yellow lab. The final photo is of Darlene, a senior woman, giving a thumbs up.
