Christmas Appeal | Michael’s Story

In 2015, Michael lost his eyesight following an allergic reaction to the antibiotics used during eye surgery.

Determined to live life to the fullest, Michael turned to
See Differently for support, where he was first paired with his guide dog, Roy, and is now working with his second, Sterling (pictured).

For 140 years, we’ve been helping people like Michael see differently and achieve their goals, and we couldn’t do it without you. Your support allows See Differently to be there for South Australians who need us.
