Natasha’s vision loss made every day a challenge.
With Nirvana, she’s found confidence, connection, and freedom.
When Natasha’s vision deteriorated, she knew she needed help. A collision with a woman at a station left her devastated. She turned to Guide Dogs, first learning to navigate with a long cane. As her vision continued to decline, her needs changed, and she was matched with her Guide Dog, Nirvana.
With Nirvana by her side, Natasha moves through life more confidently, navigating busy streets and pursuing her passions. Guide Dogs Victoria’s support has enabled Natasha to keep working, attend music festivals, and sing in choirs—empowered to live the life she loves.

Kerry’s grief and loss felt overwhelming.
Tegan gave her the confidence to step forward.
Kerry lost much of her vision over just a few months. The sudden blindness was shocking, threatening the dreams she had for herself, her husband, and their two-year-old daughter. But with the support of Guide Dogs Victoria, Kerry found ways to manage her blindness.
It was her beautiful Guide Dog, Tegan, who did the most to help Kerry return to the things that matter to her. Now, there are four in the family—and they’re looking forward once again.
