Low Vision & Macular Degeneration Support Group TOMORROW!
This Support Group, facilitated by Jerry Krug (himself an AMD patient), will focus on experiences related to low vision and/or age-related macular degeneration. Conversations will center around loss of sight, fear of the unknown, indifference by others, public ignorance, depression, prohibitive costs and so much more.
While offering no specific solutions,
bringing related challenges into the open could possibly initiate healing discussions and strategies that could improve your quality of life and offer empathetic human support.
You are not alone in your journey. Tuesday, January 28th at 11am.
*This is a one-time event to gauge community interest. The group may evolve into a reoccurring support group.
