"After being diagnosed with progressive sight loss, I struggled with losing not only my vision but also my confidence and sense of independence. Meeting Debbie was a turning point. She took the time to understand my needs, providing practical advice, emotional support, and reassurance at a time when I felt overwhelmed.
With her encouragement, I accessed rehabilitation services, learned to use a long cane, and gradually regained the confidence to get out and about independently again. Debbie’s kindness, professionalism, and unwavering support have had a profound impact on my life, helping me take control of my future with a renewed identity.
Thank you Debbie - I will always feel eternally grateful to you."

"I was introduced to Debbie in 2021 through a sight loss charity and have continued to benefit from her support ever since. She brought practical advice, encouragement, and genuine compassion to the Macular Society Peer Support Group I run in Edinburgh, where members greatly valued her home visits and ongoing availability.
Debbie’s guidance with daily challenges, access to services, and support for independent living has made a lasting difference to many people, including myself. Her dedication, knowledge, and person-centred approach have had a profound impact on the wellbeing and confidence of those she supports."

"One of the worst days of my life and my world was crumbling around me. I was a
newly single mum to a little girl and was losing my sight. Excuse the pun, but I
had no light in sight, no way out or help and support how to navigate as it was during
Covid. That was until I met Debbie who was my ray of sunshine, who lifted me back up and helped show me there was still life after a sight
loss diagnosis.
Debbie has been with me every step of the way and helped to refer me to the right
person when I was homeless.
I highly recommend anyone to turn to Debbie, she is my guardian angel and I
honestly don’t know where I would be here today without her, my worst day slowly
became one of my best as I met Debbie."
