๐Ÿš‚ All aboard the Lighthouse Guild Braille-Road!

In honor of Braille Literacy Month, we've got the answer to this morning's trivia question! ๐Ÿš†

Which letter did not exist in the original Braille system?

The correct answer is: The Letter W

When Louis Braille created the original Braille system in France, the French alphabet at the time did not commonly use the letter W. As a result, W wasnโ€™t included in the original Braille alphabet and was added later to accommodate other languages, like English.

Thanks for playing! Follow Lighthouse Guild throughout January to learn more about Braille!

Happy New Year! ๐ŸŽ‰โœจ

2026 is here, and we're ready to make it our most impactful year yet. We can't wait to empower more people who are blind or visually impaired to live fuller, more independent lives.

Here's to new beginnings, endless possibilities, and a year of changing lives together. ๐Ÿ’™

What an incredible year! ๐ŸŽ‰

As we close out 2025, we're celebrating another year making an impact for blind and visually impaired people like Amanie. When she was 11, she told us she wanted to be a teacher. Today, she's in grad school pursuing her dream of becoming a Teacher of the Visually Impaired, due to graduate in 2026.

Lighthouse Guild has been part of her journey since childhood, supporting her every step of the way. This year, she even volunteered with us, giving back to the place that's been so instrumental in her life.

Amanie, reflecting on her time at Lighthouse Guild, says it best: "Without Lighthouse Guild in my life, I would not be this close to making my lifelong dream come true."

Your support makes stories like Amanie's possible. As we head into the new year, help us empower more people to reach their dreams. ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ’ A huge THANK YOU to our friends at JRM Construction!

Not only did they generously donate holiday gifts for students in our Saturday Youth Program โ€” they also took the extra time to wrap every single one before our holiday celebrations! ๐ŸŽโค๏ธ

Their thoughtfulness brought joy, excitement, and a little holiday magic to our students. Weโ€™re so grateful for partners who show up with both generosity and heart.

Thank you for helping make the season brighter โœจ๐ŸŽ„

Michael grew up at Lighthouse Guild โ€” and it shaped everything heโ€™s accomplished.

Born legally blind, he gained independence, confidence, and a passion for helping others through programs like Tech Pals โ€“ where younger people with vision loss work one-on-one with older adults with vision loss to help them navigate technology and gain independence. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ“ฑ

Now a Specialist at Apple, he carries that mission forward every day.

โ€œLow vision is just part of my story, not a limit on what I can achieve.โ€

'Tis the season for giving back! ๐ŸŽโœจ

Thank you Goldman Sachs volunteers for taking a day away from the office and wrapping holiday gifts for our GuildCare membersโ€”older adults with vision loss who come together in a safe, supportive community.

They also got to learn about Lighthouse Guildโ€™s mission while spreading holiday cheer!

The holidays aren't just about receivingโ€”they're about lifting each other up.

Happy Holidays! ๐Ÿ’™
