Today was Spring Clean Up Day at The STAR Center, and our team rolled up their sleeves to give our building a little extra care.

From wiping down trash cans to decluttering workspaces and tidying up the auditorium, everyone pitched in to make our space feel fresh and welcoming. It may seem like small things, but taking pride in our environment helps ensure that every person who walks through our doors feels comfortable, supported, and at home.

We’re grateful for a team that cares so much about the place where lives are changed every day.

Independence can look different for everyone, and sometimes the right tools make all the difference.

Mr. Senseman has been living with glaucoma and photophobia for the past five years, which causes extreme sensitivity to light and makes reading and identifying objects difficult. Recently, our Vision Services team had the opportunity to work with him to find solutions that could make daily life a little easier.

One of the first things we helped him do was get connected with the Tennessee Library for Accessible Books and Media. Through this free statewide program, individuals who cannot read standard print due to a disability can access audiobooks. Mr. Senseman quickly took to it and has already listened to three books in just one week using his Kindle.

We also introduced him to the Ray-Ban Meta glasses. He was so impressed with how they could help him identify objects and read printed material that he ordered a pair right away. When they arrived, our team helped him get them set up and connected to his phone. His wife shared how happy she is that he can now read and identify things on his own without needing to ask for help every time.

Mr. Senseman’s story also comes full circle in a special way. His nephew, Keith Busby, recently raised funds for The STAR Center through Black Tie & Boxing Fight Club and was the event’s highest fundraiser. Because of supporters like Keith and so many others in our community, we’re able to continue providing services that help people like Mr. Senseman maintain their independence.

And if you ask him, he’ll tell you something else too. You’re never too old to learn something new. At 89 years old, he jumped right into audiobooks and new technology without hesitation.

If you or someone you love is experiencing vision loss, The STAR Center is here to help you discover tools and resources that can make everyday life easier.

Sean has officially completed his first 90 days of employment at GameXChange in Dyersburg, and we could not be more proud of him.

Stephen Ballard, one of our employment specialist, recently stopped by the store to check in with Sean. The feedback he received says so much about the hard work Sean has put in. His manager shared that he is reliable, consistent, thorough and truly focused on doing his job well.

Hearing that kind of praise never gets old. Even more encouraging, the store shared that they would be happy to consider STAR Center again whenever another position becomes available.

Congratulations, Sean. Your dedication is making a difference, and we are so proud to see you succeed.
