I'm fundraising for Seeing Eye Dogs
You know me as Rosie, Year 11 student and member of the student leadership team at Turramurra High School. I am also an advocate for young people with low vision.
THS is holding a vision impairment day on the 14th of June 2023 with events such as a non-uniform day and raffle to raise money for Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs in order to increase awareness and inclusivity within the community. This page is a donation site for further donations to help support the cause as something important within the community.
I feel it's really important to raise awareness, as vision impairment is often overlooked within communities, especially with young people, and I would like to bring attention to the cause. Seeing eye dogs can open up the world for people who have low vision. Society doesn’t really know much about VI, and definitely doesn't know about all the rights and responsibilities for people who use seeing eye dogs. I want to change that.
Supporting this cause will raise awareness, and ultimately ensure greater inclusion in our community. Please help by donating through this site before, during and after the date!
Thank you on behalf of the THS and VI community,
Rosie
