We’re Aleisha and Larissa, eight-year-old twins with big smiles and adventurous spirits. This Christmas, we have a special wish we hope you’ll be part of.

Our lives are a bit different, filled with unique challenges, including sight loss. But thanks to the amazing people at Berkshire Vision, we’re able to do things we never thought we could. And we’re inviting you to help make even more magical adventures possible!

When we were younger, life often felt limited. Our parents didn’t know where to turn to help us, and with our sight loss, fun outings seemed impossible. Most days, we stayed at home, and adventures felt like something other children got to have. But then we found Berkshire Vision, a charity that opens doors for children like us who have visual impairments. Now, thanks to them, we’ve been on so many adventures like ice-skating, feeding animals, going on boat trips, and even trying archery. These experiences make us feel just like any other child!

Berkshire Vision isn’t just about fun; it’s about freedom and friendship, too. They make sure we’re safe and that we have transport to activities so Mum doesn’t have to worry. They understand us, and their support makes us feel confident, safe, and truly happy.

Berkshire Vision is a small charity, which means that every gift from people like you makes a huge difference! When you donate, you’re giving children like us the chance to go on exciting adventures, make friends, and do things we never imagined.

Your support means so much!

So, if you’re looking to make a Christmas donation that brings magic to life, consider Berkshire Vision. You’re helping give the gift of adventure, freedom, and joy to children like us. 

With Seasons Greetings and best wishes

Aleisha, Larissa
