"These stories help tremendously"
For Cynthia, every story shared helps her on her own journey with vision loss.
Hadley
These stories help tremendously
Cynthia: I have been losing my sight and it gets a little bit worse. But these stories have helped me tremendously.
Marc: This is Hadley’s Insights and Sound Bites, where people facing vision loss share what has helped them cope and adjust.
Cynthia: My name is Cynthia Ceeyu and I live in Phoenix, Arizona, and losing my eyesight has been something that has traveled with me since day one when I was born. And it's my mother had called toxoplasmosis. And then as I got older and I'm 81, the macular degeneration set in, and so I have been losing my sight gradually and it gets a little bit worse all the time.
But my main focus today is I want everyone to know that has called in and left their story, that these stories have helped me tremendously. And I thank Hadley, for having the program and someone has been emailing me these good podcasts and they have helped tremendously to hear each story. There's something that I can pick up, whether it be how to get to a meeting or whether it be how to relate to some of your friends that it's a little bit more hard to be as close to them maybe as you used to be.
But my main focus today is so important to me that Hadley know how much these help people. Thank you.
