Gifts in Wills inspiring stories

For someone with sight loss, the right support can mean everything. It can be the difference between a life of just getting by or really going places. Read some incredible stories of how gifts in Wills have helped people live lives full of experience and opportunity.

I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to lose my sight. But I know if it happened to me what a lifeline a guide dog would provide. I hope someone can live a full, enjoyable life because of my gift to Guide Dogs. It makes me happy thinking about it. Giving someone freedom & independence and a best friend.
