Vinson added that her per- sonal motto was inspired by a sign she saw on a basket – "NEGU" – or, "Never, Ever Give Up." "I say that to others I meet at places where we go and speak," she noted. Walasia makes no bones about the purpose of why she and her mother started the Go- FundMe page. It is a simple, yet heart- felt plea: "Please give to my GoFundMe page to get the OrCam MyEye Reader 2.0 for my independence. May God bess you!" Mom, Sheila echoed her daughter's wishes, "Yes, please pray about doing that as we do need help in getting the word out for her GoFundMe page, 'Walasia's Indepen- dence with the OrCam Reader 2.0. She desperately needs a little bit of independence. At 19 years old, she has missed out on all of her teenage life, so- cializing, and everything." Her GoFundMe page says it all in her own words, "Bless- ings: I'm Walasia Vinson. I am 19 years old, and a 2-time brain tumor survivor, from 2012 (the first round) to 2018. I Battled 2 rounds of Brain tu- mors. In 2017, the Dr.'s found 3. By then, my optic nerves were inflamed, and my sight was taken the 2nd time. The OrCam Reader 2.0 will give me the tools to be indepen- dent, and live life to be able to feel a little normal, and be able to bring me confidence and life skills, which would mean the world to me! Thank You & God Bless You!" So far, the little lady with the big, bright smile and infec- tious laugh, has raised $500 of her $6,000 goal, but needs so much more. And as for "Walasia's War- riors" her mother said it is an organization that pledges to help fight the war on cancer. "We will do volunteer work, community work, public speak- ing, support, and various out- reach to families, institutions, and the community." You may contact "Walasia's Warriors" at (704) 300-0938, or email them at ms_sheila_63@ yahoo.com, and be sure to "like" them on their Facebook page, she said.
