Robert Binns

Package Handler, Fed Ex Smart Post

Robert was walking to a college class when he lost his sight in 2012. He

fell into a depressed stage, believing that the only thing left for him was

channel surfing and listening to television shows. One day he realized that he didn’t want to just sit at home for the next 40 years.

He wanted to live.

Because he was a new United States citizen, however, Robert had to wait

for an extended time before receiving services. He ended up in a homeless

shelter. All he has accomplished since then shows how high expectations

and adjustment to blindness training can open many doors for him.
