I want to share something that happened to me. I really wanted to volunteer for Bags of Love Eugene( bagsofloveinc.org.) They first didnt like my glasses and thought I should remove them, told them no way. I shared the Irlen card to explain my lenses and told them I was not able to cut fabric but that I could sew for them. It was very difficult to stay. It was a volunteer organization to help foster kids. I seek ed out another volunteer and she was able to give me bag kits, that means fabric that was cut into 3 pieces to sew together a bag. I can sew at home but found it difficult to stay under there lights and sew at the shop. My lighting was perfect at home. That was 4 years ago and I am still volunteering and sewing the bags for foster children. There are jobs for anyone that wants to volunteer from home and also there at the shop. I just had to work around my difficulty and my Irlen glasses helped to be strong for something that I believed in and wanted so much. Dont let someone take your power away, wear your glasses and step up to the plate!
