Our Story
In 2019, just five months after getting married, Angela started experiencing severe headaches and blurred vision. Alarmed by these symptoms, she went to the doctor, where she underwent a series of tests. The results were devastating. Angela had a tumor in her brain that needed immediate surgical intervention.
​
The surgery was risky, but they remained hopeful and trusted the skilled medical team. Finally, the day of the operation arrived. Angela bid a tearful farewell to her husband, not knowing if she would ever see his face again.
​
The surgery was a success, and the tumor was partially removed. However, the cost was incredibly high. Angela awoke from the procedure to find she had completely lost her vision. The world she had once known was now a dark, unfamiliar place. She felt a mix of emotions—fear, anger, and sadness engulfed her.
​
But Angela was not one to be trounced. She had always been a fighter, and losing her sight only ignited a new flame within her. As she adjusted to her new reality, she discovered a newfound empathy for those who had been visually impaired all their lives. She yearned to support and give them hope and resources to navigate the challenges she now faces.
Her journey inspired Angela to create a non-profit organization supporting the visually impaired; she is finalizing her mini-memoir sharing her journey and has a patent pending on an invention that will assist visually impaired individuals when identifying apparel and accessories.
​
Angela became an inspiration to many. Her story touched people's hearts, and all who knew her admired her determination and resilience. Though she could no longer see the world with her eyes, she saw it with her heart. She felt the joy of making a difference, and that brought light back into her life.
​
Angela strives to be a beacon of hope for the visually impaired, a testament to the power of turning adversity into purpose. Her love for her husband, Chris, grew stronger, and they stood together as a team, supporting each other through every challenge.
​
Angela’s journey from loss to empowerment taught her that life's obstacles could become stepping stones to greatness. She showed the world that even in darkness, one could find light and inspire others to do the same.
