Even now, I quietly return to my church and my God for acceptance, renewal and strength. In April 1963, when I met Ron Workman, I knew nothing about living with blindness. I was to learn that in 1957 Ron had to give up driving because he was legally blind due to Choroideremia, a rare eye condition that was inherited. According to medical science, there was no treatment or cure. Ind. We married and together pursued the search.
Rehabilitation is like a resurrection.
Seeing that process was truly the motivation for me to start a blind rehabilitiation center through which more than 2,000 people, ages 5 to 95, had access to Low Vision, mobility and many daily living skills. Living in Kansas in retirement, I have researched what is available here and have chosen to be involved with informing more than 100 local people about services in this state. It is important to me to enable others to find alternatives to despair. The Brethren are a group of Christians who take the New Testament seriously as a guide for life. The church is to be a caring people.
