Vision for Our Community
“Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much” Hellen Keller
“When my daughter was diagnosed at the age of 7 with Retinitis Pigmentosa, I felt so alone. Yes, I had family and friends to lean on, but I wanted support from others also navigating a similar path. I want to cultivate a safe space in my local community for visually impaired families. I want it to be a space where other parents like me can lean on each other, connect, and help one another through the ups and downs of having a child with RP.”

Creating Support for Families.
I was diagnosed at thirteen with Retinitis Pigmentosa, but it didn’t have a huge impact on my life until 2020 when I lost a large portion of my peripheral sight. My whole world as a mother, wife, and entrepreneur turned upside down and honestly I did not receive the support I needed from a number of doctors and agencies. I stopped driving two years ago and now am a white cane user. This is a really hard journey some days and my goal for Eye See Hou is to bring our community together to laugh and learn from one another. I want to make sure anyone who is in a similar position is met with support, ease, empathy, and practical solutions for living with sight loss.
