Be a Lifesaver!
Dustin started losing his vision in 2002 with a detached retina in his right eye caused by severe myopathy. A few years later, he started losing vision in his left eye. Unfortunately, multiple surgeries were attempted, but none were successful in improving his sight. He never received training for this handicap.
In 2023, Dustin and his aunt Reesa connected with Kurt Deichmann, CEO of First Aid for the Blind.
"Dustin had never been around anyone else with vision loss, so when we had the class with Kurt, Dustin was amazed and fascinated that Kurt was living a life even with his loss," said Reesa.
During his training, Dustin and Reesa received assistive devices and lessons on how to use them. These tools have greatly helped Dustin lead a more normal life.
"Kurt was a lifesaver with his class," said Reesa, "teaching both Dustin and me all about the technology that is available for Dustin to have a more independent and better quality of life."
