“Connecting with VIM and knowing others living with vision impairment are what helped me the most. I was feeling isolated, dysfunctional and frustrated. I received valuable resources, information and tips that were life changing. I can say I feel functional, engaged and more at ease.”

Eddie Rivero, Novato, CA
“Vision Impaired Marin is an educational, support, and social organization for anyone who is experiencing vision loss, recently or for some time. I have found understanding help, information and friendship through VIM. We learn, we laugh, and we help one another, continuing to find joy and comfort in our lives through VIM's many activities. I have found VIM to be a way out of the gloom of vision loss, it is my guiding light.”
Val Stilson, Novato
“VIM gives me the chance to take part in activities that are mentally and physically stimulating, while also helping me stay connected with others. It’s a great way to socialize and feel less isolated. When we work and explore together, we come up with new ways to handle the challenges we face and create meaningful shared experiences. I truly enjoy having a place to go and be around people who understand what it’s like to live with low vision.”
Kevin Lent, San Rafael, CA
“Socializing together as vision impaired people creates a better understanding. We are going through changes that the sighted world does not understand. I have made new friends, and we all have become part of a family.”
Annabella Denisoff, Novato and former President
“The VIM Talking Book Club has been the inspiration that helped me return to reading as much as I did before my sight became impaired. I have also learned how to use the Talking book Library.”
June Fesler, San Rafael
“The Zoom Support Group has been so beneficial and heart-warming to talk to people in my situation. I receive help and encouragement from them.
It is convenient because I don’t have to arrange a ride since I no longer drive.” Loreen Rocca, San Rafael.
“Participating in the art class opened up a spectrum of colors for me. I was feeling isolated and my creativity was dim. It gave me a sense of hop, meaning, and a zeal that brought out the creativity that is within me.
Joining with others living with vision impairment gives one a needed sense of fellowship. To witness the creativity of others was inspiring and delightful.” Verlena Young, Novato, CA
