Summary: Three New Zealanders will soon be blind due to a progressive disorder known as retinitis pigmentosa. Louie the youngest of the Corbett children's case has been accelerating and will loose his sight much sooner. The disorder is hereditary which explains why all of his brothers have it. The family has decided they want Louie to see as many beautiful images as he can by going on a sightseeing tour. Louie has made a bucket list of what he wants to do, where he wants to go, but the thing he wants to do most if see the Boston Celtics play a game. The owner of the Celtics wife just so happened to read an article about Louie and would try to do all she can to accommodate him.
Analysis: I can't even express how amazing this is! People's generosity can truly show their character. Plus I can't imagine what the family of this young boy and his brothers who are soon to also become blind. This is must be extremely challenging for them to go through but I'm sure the generous people and their compassion helps. I wish we had more people like this in our world!!

This is so touching. I hope this boy gets to do everything he put on his bucket list before he becomes blind. I also hope he gets to see the Boston Celtics play.
ReplyDeleteWow I really hope that this kid has fun on his trip. The generosity of some people is really amazing
ReplyDeleteAww, how sad! I can't imagine suddenly having to go blind; that would be incredibly hard to go through. But, all the same, I hope the kid is able to enjoy his trip and get the most out of it. It's really kind of those people to help them out.
ReplyDeleteI feel like it's even worse to loose your eye sight when you've already seen the world but i'm glad to hear they're doing such a wonderful thing for these kids!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sad! But it's nice that people are reaching out already to help.
