Kristin is a Mom of two blind sons, ages 17 and 20, that often talks about how she was “crying on the couch” for a few years after hearing “Your son is blind.” Luckily, she had a miracle moment that changed her perception of blindness and launched her journey to gather all of the information she needed to raise her two blind sons to thrive. Her boys, Michael and Mitchell. are honor roll and Dean's List students, baseball championship winners, Student Council Executives, Valedictorian, and social butterflies.

Kristin has spent two decades finding resources for her boys' to chase their dreams.  Now, Kristin and her stellar network are bringing YOU their extraordinary tools to guide blind and visually imparied children to thrive.
