Jo Partyka has been blind since birth. But, she attended regular schools,
her
Braille textbooks helping her excel in her scholastic life, as well as in
everyday living. Her innate empathy helped her help others in her work at a
hotline for people who were in trauma, including suicidal. She helped people
who
needed more social funding…she was blind, and the people she helped didn’t
know.
Her husband is also blind. Find out why she thought twice before marrying a
