Madison's Story

During her pregnancy, Madison suddenly lost about 90% of her vision.

“I had space to process the diagnosis, but also really start to reflect on, you know, what can I do now? I didn't know anyone with vision loss. And I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I questioned if I had anything to offer at that point.”

Faced with the reality of a major career change, she connected with CNIB’s Come to Work program and found new confidence, purpose, and opportunity.

"That was kind of the seed that was planted for me that allowed me to start kind of considering what my next career was going to look like. And it frankly gave me a lot of hope and a lot of confidence and ultimately led me to this really wonderful job that I have today.”
