Mission
The Hindman Foundation’s mission is to provide help and hope to those people battling AMD and low vision.
Cause
Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in America. As many as 15 million people today suffer from this degenerative disease of the eye.
Approach
Research into better treatments and eventually a cure is critical in the fight against AMD. Today, however, perhaps as many as 15,000,000 are battling AMD and struggling with impaired vision. Our approach is to increase access to, and the effectiveness of low vision rehabilitation for AMD sufferers.
Impact
Through the funding of low vision rehabilitation programs the Hindman Foundation will be helping to create cutting-edge, patient-centered treatment plans.
Book
The story that started it all. Read about Jim Hindman’s troubled childhood, his persistence in the face of unimaginable challenges, his many business successes, and his ongoing battle with AMD. Learn how Jim was blind, but through a never-give-up attitude, received the miracle of sight restoration. Full of important information and valuable resources, this is a great place to start learning about AMD.
Give
We need your support by giving, so we can help those who are living with AMD! Please give now. 100% of donations go directly to low vision rehabilitation programs.

Well done Jim, you never gave up.

Thanks for this site. The white letters on black are great for someone with diminished vision. I’m wondering if there is a site where AMD patients can share their thoughts.

Thank you, Ruth. I have done quite a few searches myself looking for a blog designated to a discussion on AMD. However, I have only found websites and blogs with informative articles. I will keep searching and if I do find something, I will be sure to send you a message.

I have just finished reading Jim’s book ‘Was blind, but now I see’.
I really enjoyed the story of his entrepreneurial journey and found the book contained very practical and valuable information about living with AMD.
Jim, if you get this message, I just wanted to say thank you the wonderful gift of your book; it gives much-needed hope for people who are suffering from vision loss.

Mr. Hindman: Thank you for writing the essay for the March 13, 2017 OT PRACTICE. As an occupational therapist finishing a 39 yr. career in public school-based OT, I am going to keep your essay as a treasure, to help me remember the impact of others in the profession. With appreciation. Karen

Dear Ms. Scott,
Thank you for your comments. We have heard from other OTs with similar statements. I hope people appreciate the small part each of us play in their lives in our own special way. A positive and upbeat relationship was developed with all the OTs I was fortunate enough to meet. All of you have a good heart and the good discipline to prepare yourselves professionally to do what you do for others. We appreciate all you have done.
Sincerely,
Jim Hindman
