About Donation - One Recipient’s Story
Bets Cole is an artist, interpreting her view of the world through paint and canvas.
Help came through a transplant with a new cornea, donated by a generous family in a time of grief.
But she almost didn’t have that view. Bets suffered from corneal blindness for more than 20 years, suffering pain, light-sensitivity, and increasingly cloudy vision.
Not only did her painting become more difficult, but it impacted the other key area of her life – her family. She couldn’t bake brownies for a bake sale, or drive to pick up her children from school.
“It is amazing how blindness contributes to uncertainty and clear sight can boost one’s self-assurance. I am grateful to go forward using this gift to make the most of my life."
