This session featured the unique journeys of three families who have navigated life with vision loss and emerged stronger together. The Carpenter Family shared how they rally around their mom and wife, offering steadfast support and love through every challenge. The Nipper Family explored a mother's role in empowering her daughter's independence, leadership aspirations, and personal growth. The Allen Family discussed how they balance life with two daughters, challenging preconceptions, fostering advocacy skills and navigating their community with strength and grace. Each story reflects a different perspective, but all speak to the importance of family, understanding and perseverance. This event was especially for families of individuals experiencing vision loss and anyone seeking encouragement, connection, and hope.
