My name is Jacob, and I have been legally blind since birth. For most of my life, I’ve managed with limited vision—my eyesight was 20/200, but recently it has worsened to 20/280. Living with this condition has always been challenging, but as my vision declines, daily tasks have become even more difficult. I am on disability and have a very limited income, which makes it impossible for me to afford the technology that could help me live more independently.
One device that could truly change my life is the OrCam MyEye 3 Pro Smart Reading Device. This incredible tool acts like a third eye, reading anything with words aloud to me—whether it’s a bus schedule, a street sign, or important documents. With this device, I would be able to navigate my community, manage daily tasks, and regain a sense of independence that I’ve lost over the years. Not having to rely on others for help with reading would mean so much to me and would give me the confidence to do more on my own.
Your help will make a real difference in my life. Any support you can offer will bring me closer to having the freedom and independence I need. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering a donation to my fundraiser.
