We see a cure for blindness

Sofia Sees Hope Vision and Mission

What is Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA)?

LCA is a rare inherited retinal disease characterized by severe vision loss at birth. While some children are born with little or no vision, others may have significant vision loss in the first few years of life, stable vision for a period of time, and then eventually complete vision loss as the retina deteriorates into total blindness.

Today we visited Simply Majestic to show our appreciation and gratitude for their decade of support for Hope in Focus.
