Fedora has the unique opportunity to work with individuals, groups and communities around the world that have served our country both in war and in their civil duties.

Our veterans come back home and are often times disabled.

When this happens, we work with them to enhance their “quality of life”, but…

What does that mean exactly?

Everyone is different. Everyone has their own unique perspective on life and what the quality should be.

My question to you is…

When we say “quality of life”, what does that mean to you specifically?

Does that mean having employment, good health, creating music, making a movie or just being able to see your children and or grandkids grow up big and healthy?

Please, please take the survey below and give us some insight into your thoughts to this question.

We will be holding our monthly veterans technology webinar Friday, February 8th at 10am and we’ll be going over your replies to this one question survey on what quality of life means for everyone.

Often times we get someone that says they can’t afford our services…

and it breaks my heart!

Not because of the money factor, but because of the mindset that the person saying it has.

We hope to change your perspective with this weeks video.

We also wanted to thank each and every one of you for following us on Instagram.

You helped us DOUBLE our following over the past two months and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Tune in below to learn more about how you can access our services AND the announcement of the $100 Instagram prize winner!

The world has changed forever for those of us that are blind and live with diabetes! Instead of sticking a needle in our fingers…

why not just use your iPhone to get your blood sugar readings?

The Freestyle Librelink sensor and an accessible app on your phone makes the old way of monitoring sugar levels a thing of the past.

Let’s discuss how the system works, see a demonstration and get informed.

Most importantly…

Let’s upgrade our quality of life!

Recently, we received this lovely and inspiring message in response to one of our videos.

So, we thought it’d be great to share with you on this beautiful day before Thanksgiving.

Marcie wrote:

“Keep preaching the truth. There used to be an ad for the army that said, “Be all you can be.”

Of course, it included “in the army.”

I have been blind since birth and was told that I had to be twice as good to even be (sort of) equal.

But, when it came to vocational rehabilitation (as a client), I was supposed to take anything the placement specialist wanted me to take for a job.

I didn’t completely accept what he said, but I was underemployed for almost 22 years so I felt a bit helpless.

When I went back to get two masters degrees; one in vocational rehabilitation counseling and the other in vision rehabilitation therapy.

I came in with the attitude that I was not going to treat my clients the way I was treated.

I go with the premise that the cup is half full, not half empty and that even though a person can’t do something the same way they did it before a vision loss.

They still need to find a way to do the things they want to do, just maybe a different way.

Even if it’s truly not possible, like flying a plane with no vision, they can adapt.

Whether it be helping build the plane or repairing it or owning an air service…

So, keep on encouraging others who are blind/vision impaired to dare to dream and achieve their dreams.”
