But first I would like to tell you a story about an incredibly brave girl called Emma…Emma’s Story- Every day, 100 people in the UK start to lose their eyesight. It’s a devastating time for them and their family. Unfortunatley, this was the case for seven year old Emma…..
Emma was a happy, healthy seven year old, when she was diagnosed with a disease called Stargardt's disease that meant she would quickly start losing her sight. She understood what was happening, and as the effects took hold, it was alomost too much too bear. Everything that she had known and loved had begun to fade away, her friends playing, her bedtime stories and even her own mothers face. Emma was frightened and alone. But her parents appealed to the RNIB and they soon took care of her. The donations from the public allowed the RNIB to provide Emma with Talking Books and fun activity days with people with the same condition as her. She now has her life back and even helped the RNIB to be the first child to star in their TV advert! The RNIB changes Emma’s life. But real change takes time, and that is only possible if the RNIB get donations in.
Why should you support my Charity?
- It is a devastating time for the victim and their family. The RNIB are not very well known, so they need as many donations as possible. Imagine if the world around YOU suddenly started to fade…
- It changes peoples lives for the better!Emma’s story is just one positive reaction. The RNIB don’t focus on some people and not others, they always give their full undivided attention to everyone.
- Some of the money that the RNIB raise go to eye clinics all around the UK. This can contribute to curing many eye diseases, and most importantly to allow people to live life with no more everyday difficulties.
To persuade you how worthy this cause is, here are a few quotes from people who have ben helped by the RNIB:
"The care and education Adrian has received at RNIB Pears Centre has changed his life - and ours - for the better." - Adrian's mum
"I am extremely grateful to the RNIB for all their support - without them I would not have received the benefits I am entitled to" - Stanley Yates
And finally, here is a link to the RNIB school ‘The Pears Centre’.
