Mission Moment: Jesus Hernandez
When a friend told Jesus Hernandez about the San Antonio Lighthouse 33 years ago, he packed his bags and moved from Houston to San Antonio as fast as he could.

He’s been working at the San Antonio Lighthouse ever since, but to him, it feels like it’s only been two months.

​Jesus was born with retinits pigmentosa and lost his sight 30 years ago, but that hasn’t stopped him from living a fulfilling life.

“The San Antonio Lighthouse makes me feel like I can see,” Jesus said. “I feel completely normal and supported by my leaders and teammates.”

Golf Tournament:
"Fore" the Blind Charity Scramble
Join us for our 14th Annual “Fore” the Blind Charity Scramble at Canyon Spring Golf Club on Nov. 16, 2022. 
 
This one-of-a-kind golf tournament will feature foursomes paired with one of the world’s best blind golfers. 
 
Proceeds from the event will benefit programs at the Lighthouse that increase the independence of individuals who are blind and vision impaired.
 
Last year, the Lighthouse provided more than 23,000 services to roughly 7,000 San Antonians.
 
You can help us empower even more people who are blind and vision impaired by supporting our event.

Did You Know?
It can be difficult for a child to express if they are having trouble with their sight. In light of Child Vision Awareness Month, we’ve listed hidden vision problems in children:

  1. Short attention span
  2. Avoids reading and other close activities
  3. Frequent blinking or rubbing the eyes
  4. Tilting the head to one side

With the increase in technology usage among young children, the percentage of children in America diagnosed with eye and vision conditions is more than 6.8 percent. Whether or not a child is showing signs, scheduling a vision appointment in the summer can help prevent difficulties learning in school.

Why do you serve on the San Antonio Lighthouse Board?

I came for a tour and fell in love. The mission of “empowering” speaks volumes. The Lighthouse truly practices it and believes in it. When you walk through the door you can see it at work.
