Keep Hope Alive

Helen Keller’s life is a testament to the power of hope.  When she was about two years old she contracted a disease that robbed her of both her sight and hearing.  When you consider that she could not see nor hear, it seems impossible to believe that she would grow up to be one of the most revered personalities of the 20th Century, working tirelessly on behalf of world peace, women’s suffrage and civil rights.

What makes Helen Keller’s story even more remarkable is the fact that she was born in 1880, which meant she lived during a time when being a woman was considered a disability and being physically disabled was perceived as being less than human.  So how was Keller able to accomplish so much with such formidable obstacles? 

She believed in the power of hope and confidence.

Encouragement Always.
