Mike & Gabriella

Blindness has been with Mike since he was a baby, but he has always been able to count on his family for support. Olmsted Center has also been with Mike for much of his life. As a child, he enrolled in our Early Education Program. Mike is now an adult with his own child, and Olmsted Center is still there for him. Mike and his family live at Olmsted’s Stovroff Apartments which offer specialized accessibility features, affordable rent, public transportation access, and plenty of room his family. Mike couldn’t be happier with his new home.

Raising a child while blind? No small task. Ever change a diaper with your eyes shut? There’s no challenge NOT worth handling.
