J.R. has spent his whole life guessing what colors look like. A longtime resident of The Brooks of Cibolo, a kind and active leader within the ambassadors group, and colorblind from birth, J.R. never knew glasses could actually help him experience the real thing — until now.
Independent Living Activity Director Gabriela Reyna handed J.R. a pair of color-correcting glasses during a community gathering, a surprise that turned into a truly unforgettable moment. The instant he put them on, balloons in the room stopped being just shapes and transformed into clear, distinct colors he could finally see for the first time. Overcome with emotion, J.R. held back tears as his neighbors applauded.
“Seeing the world in full color is something many take for granted,” said Jim Duggins, Executive Director of The Brooks of Cibolo. “But for J.R., this gift gave him the chance to finally see what he’s been missing his whole life.”
