As a mature adult who has been sighted all my life, my world fundamentally shifted when a routine steroid injection for muscle pain unexpectedly led to cloudy vision and a diagnosis of brain cancer. Over the next several months, I endured extensive hospital stays, doctor’s visits at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, and comprehensive treatments, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy at Moffitt Cancer Center. While these life-saving treatments destroyed the tumor, my optic nerves were damaged, leaving me severely visually impaired. Sitting in my hospital bed, a divine inspiration from God for the Earnell Samuel Foundation was placed on my heart. When I finally rang the cancer-free bell, the joy and relief were profound.
