The First Dollar: Lighthouse for the Blind

Receiving a diagnosis that you’re going blind can be a scary and uncertain process. However, Alicia Lansford at Lighthouse for the Blind knows there is an alternative to walking through this journey alone.

Lighthouse for the Blind began by offering employment opportunities for people with blindness in East Texas. Over the years, they have continued to grow, and they now train blind individuals all across the United States.

During the interview process for Lighthouse for the Blind, new people get to meet all the instructors and employees, so they are introduced to a whole world they didn’t know existed when they got their diagnosis.

While many newly diagnosed individuals may be hesitant about coming to Lighthouse for the Blind, they are able to leave feeling confident since they found a community of individuals who have gone through the same issues and have turned their situation around.
