When the wellspring of possibility rained down upon her, the “pebble on the pond” of what can be, made an everlasting ripple. When all around her said an ordinary life would be impossible, Helen Keller agreed. She was anything but ordinary.
She demanded extraordinary. Like water from a well, every day came to her hands full of possibilities.
Helen Keller was deaf, but she could hear an inner voice. She was blind, but she could see the possibilities.
The possibility to explore.
The possibility to learn.
The possibility to enlighten.
The possibility to change.
The possibility to serve.
The possibility to soar.
We are Helen Keller’s legacy Foundation, founded by the Keller Family, to achieve Helen’s sight saving vision thru modern medical research. Helen Keller changed the world. Our purpose is to keep changing it, as she envisioned.
To keep discovering.
To keep teaching.
To keep protecting.
To keep healing.
To keep saving.
To keep enlightening.
“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.”
We are the Helen Keller Foundation. We have faith that sight can be saved. That hearing can be saved. That human dignity can be saved. That grace and innocence can be saved. No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to uncharted seas, or opened new doorways for the human spirit.
We are the Helen Keller Foundation. The possibilities are endless. Like Helen Keller, we hear the call. We see the possibilities. We speak the truths.
We are the Helen Keller Foundation. And we are now Helen Keller’s ears. We are her voice. We are her eyes. And now we hold in the palm of our hands, through science and enlightenment, a wellspring of possibilities. The possibilities to save sight, speech and hearing. The possibilities to change the world forever. To lead succeeding generations into a world of healing, of tolerance, of grace. As far as the eye can see and the spirit can imagine. The possibilities are endless to lead the world into a day where there will be no blind eye, no muted voice, no deafened ears.
We have heard the call. We look straight into the eyes of the world, holding the new cures we have developed in her name. Cures for retinal detachment, For eye injuries. For macular degenerations. And cures for other blinding conditions, yet to come.
We are the Helen Keller Eye Research Foundation.
We see the possibilities.
