Embracing Life Together
Marilena was born with cataracts on her eyes, and now, at 44 years old, she lives with low central & peripheral vision and frequent vertigo that causes visual shaking and dizziness.
Marilena has a message of gratitude; “My life has truly changed for the better thanks to Hamilton, and I am so grateful for the support and contributions from the community.”
The Perfect Match
Dale woke up one morning in 2023, blind in one eye. He now has 40% vision left in his other eye. Since his diagnosis, Dale has lived life to the fullest. He’s run some of Australia's toughest tracks, completed 100km in a day, and is always up for a walk with Yana by his side.
Dale says “Seeing Eye Dogs give so much independence and freedom that any support you can give is vital."
The Hope of Independence
Alayna was just 11 years old when she lost her sight and was diagnosed with optic atrophy.
Alayna thanks the community for "helping to fund Seeing Eye Dogs just like Joey. Your support means people like me get the opportunity to work with a Seeing Eye Dog. By supporting the appeal, you’re contributing to the hope that is independence."
Thank you for your kind donations & the support of our partners
