Visual Experience Foundation Information

The Visual Experience foundation at first glance is an amazing thing just on the surface to take those who are losing their sight to have a visual experience that can be burned into their soul and last beyond their physical sight, However VEF is so much more. During the “sight visits” their is fellowship and identification that takes place that only someone going through this particular challenge in life can identify with. We can all identify with the athlete who finally realizes that his game is not what it used to be and is faced with a hard decision to surrender. For the person losing their sight over time this surrender is holding on to driving first at night and then altogether. Some younger candidates will be dealing with never being able to drive while all their friends are getting there license and first cars. Dealing with the ego deflation and acceptance of now needing the use of a sight cane is not any easy one. These decisions of surrender are life changing and sometimes come with private tears. Having someone who has no idea with good intentions at a happy occasion make a comment that you have beautiful eyes and then go on about how they sparkle can sometimes bring those in this hallway in an instant to a place in the mind that isn’t pretty. If not spiritually fit a small comment could spiral and ruin an evening. An evening by the way that today is sighted! A moment that shouldn’t be missed living in the fear of the future!
