Thanks to a generous grant awarded to VisionLink this winter from the Rae S. Uber Trust, we are now investing $40,000 in new funding to support our ongoing effort to provide programs and assistive devices to help adults with vision loss live independently and thrive.
For eligible clients enrolled in our Vision Rehabilitation Therapy and home management programs, we will soon be providing — at no charge — tools that support the activities of daily living such as bump dots, liquid level indicators, low vision writing guide kits, color identifiers, and more. ”We are so grateful for the support and grant from the Rae S. Uber Trust to enhance our offerings and expand our skill development programs for the community we serve,” said Karla McCaney, president and CEO of VisionLink. “Our mission has always been to foster independence and improve the quality of life for our clients, and with this grant from the Rae S. Uber Trust, we can make strides in achieving these goals by putting devices directly into the hands of our clients, providing ongoing instruction and support for how to best use them, and breaking down barriers to open up a world of possibilities for adults living with vision loss. Thank you, Rae S. Uber!”
