Chit Chat Calls

“I am so grateful to Devon in Sight for contacting me so quickly. They encouraged me to give their Chit Chat calls a try and told me that they could arrange specialist Counselling (I thought I might need this too). However, after speaking with Devon in Sight and joining the Chit Chat call every Wednesday, I felt that I didn’t need counselling.

I have made many friends on the chit chat call who have helped and supported me. Unless anything changes dramatically, I no longer need the counselling! The Wednesday calls are the highlight of my week, and I can’t begin to tell you how much I look forward to them and how important they are to me now. I can ask anything at all and have learned so much about how I can live the life I want.

We talk about all kinds of things, and it helps to know that the others feel the way I do about losing my sight. The fact that I’ve made friends who really understand how I feel has made all the difference to my life and I’m not quite so worried about my future anymore. I really don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t found Devon in Sight and the Wednesday Chit Chat calls”.
