Create a future where people with low vision or blindness can move freely, without limits.
When Sacha was growing up, her doctor told her something that stayed with her for years: a Guide Dog would never be an option for her. Not because she didn’t need support, but because, on paper, her vision was considered “too good.”
For a long time, Sacha believed that a Guide Dog was reserved for people whose vision fit into a very narrow definition of what is considered low vision or blindness. Because she has Oculocutaneous Albinism, her vision fluctuates significantly depending on her environment and level of fatigue. After a full day of work, commuting, hours at a computer and exposure to bright lights, her functional vision deteriorates to well below the previously required threshold.
