Hi! We're the Landrum Family and we have created this fund for one reason.....

▪️To purchase a shed for Charles to be able to continue his passion for wood working



Allow us to tell you Charles's story

Ten years ago, Charles lost his eyesight due  to some serious medical conditions that developed and he, along with us, have been navigating life in a new way. He has always been good at working with his hands and his choice of hobbies and his passion became woodworking.

He moved into an upstairs apartment that had a balcony.  This allowed him to convert the balcony into a temporary "workshop" so he could continue his dream of "creating" as a blind man and move forward in life with a hobby that he loves.

Woodworking began filling a void in his new life since becoming blind. He was doing fine in the apartment but the stairs had became a safety concern. 

THE SAFTY CONCERN

▪️Charles had fallen due to the instability of the stairs. It was clear the navigational process for him was no longer safe. This is when the decision was made he needed to move. 

Recently, with the help of friends, he was moved into a safe, single-family home. The safety issue had been eliminated!! However, his new home did not provide a place for him to continue woodworking.

️️️Let's pause here for a moment. It's time for YOU to watch a video.
You know.....get a clearer picture and feel of what we are trying to communicate to you. Roll it!
