"Sophia could have given up a long time ago. It's her fight, her determination, along with her incredible teachers that keeps her moving forward."
​
-Suzanne, Sophia's Mom

Sophia first arrived at Blind Children’s Learning Center in 2015 at age 4. Her battle with aggressive pediatric brain cancer robbed her of her vision and left her unable to speak, walk, or even tap her feet to music. All she could do was cry. Thanks to you, Sophia found hope at Blind Children’s Learning Center. 

Now 8 years old, the determined and expressive Sophia just graduated from the Center. Suzanne describes her daughter’s progress as “mind-blowing.” She continues, “Without the generosity of donors, Sophia would not have had the opportunity to achieve goals that medical professionals said she may never accomplish. I’m forever grateful.”

  • Speech therapy empowered Sophia with new skills to greet people, express her opinions, and vocalize simple words. Her constant cries of frustration are now laughter.

  • Physical Therapy helped Sophia gain balance, strength and the ability to walk! Once unable to crawl, she can now explore a jungle gym, dance to music, and use a white mobility cane. 

  • Specialized, multi-sensory instruction improved Sophia’s tactile and auditory skills to learn without sight. She can choose activities, distinguish patterns by touch, and Braille the alphabet! 
​
Sophia never gave up. There are hundreds of families right now who can fight for a better future like Sophia, but they need your help. Your gift will make an immediate difference at critical moments in a young child’s life, with a payoff that lasts a lifetime.
