    Her perseverance is nothing short of miraculous and a catalyst for appreciating my own blessings. Unfortunately, we are all frailer than we think. It's a sobering reality that people are coping with such significant impairments, but it is a source of encouragement that she navigates through life despite her limitations. May God bless her with His grace, mercy, and protection throughout her life.

    Kids can be so cruel? Why? I have five grandchildren, and they would never think to tease anyone that was less fortunate than them. In fact they welcomed them with their heart and want to be their friends. We have a zero tolerance for bullying in our family.

      Their behaviors are usually acquired from their parents, so their parents can take the blame for not raising them right. Sad that other children have to face the consequences of the parents actions, and I agree that any awful behavior shouldn’t be tolerated

    This is very informative, thank you for sharing this story with us, it keeps us aware of how diverse we are in the world and how people with disabilities go about their lives. However, i think that this clip has excluded deaf people from watching especially given that it is about a person who is not only deaf but blind as well,it should have been more inclusive, like adding closed captions. I hope you have gotten more knowledge and are more inclusive now since the day of publication of this video.

      I know there is a lot of pride within the deaf community and a lot of deaf people do not want cochlear implants or hearing aids even when they are available. But if you are not only deaf but also blind, I would think you would want whatever assistance you can get? But she seems pretty content without them, so I guess not?

      I understand what you mean. However, people who are blind often have a small amount of usable sight. Sometimes this can mean they can only see shadows. This would be like being in a room with the curtains closed and the lights turned off, there is no visible color in the darkness but there is just enough light to see the movement of a person or a pet. Sometimes the field of vision is very small like looking through a straw. Individuals with this extremely limited sight are considered blind because this small amount of vision is not enough for them to be able to drive a car or go places on their own without the assistance of a guide whether that is a guide dog or a person. Complete blindness when there is no sight at all is extremely rare.

      ​@@atc35012 I appreciate your reply. I would consider what you are saying if the documentary said that her sight was blurry. The documentary claims she is blind. That mean she can't see enough to recognize anything, like the faces she puts on her canes. @20:18 Quoting the documentary.. "Sometimes if I felt really flat or bored or sad, I would LOOK at golfie and it would.. I would LOOK in the corner and it would make me feel better."
