Asking for Help

My name is Ron Peterson, I went to school and studied engineering and had a successful engineering career and retired about 10 years ago. And I began working as a volunteer at the Tijuana Estuary. I loved working out there 'cause I always loved being around nature, so I was planting native plants and removing invasive plants and helping maintain and clear the trails and such.

But then about five years ago, I lost my vision to glaucoma. The bottom dropped out pretty fast and it kind of surprised me. I wasn't really prepared for it, I guess I was in denial. And I wasn't able to work at the estuary. It just became harder and harder. And finally I just couldn't do any of that sort of thing anymore, and that was very disheartening to me.
