225 Meet Don Shaw

Published: Oct. 31, 2021, 3:22 p.m.

We come into contact with life savers every day, whether they be doctors, police, ambulance crews and even firemen and women, it is very rare to come into contact with someone that saves your life tangentially. Don Shaw was such a man for me. Along with Phil Parr, Tom Houston and Don Patterson, Don Shaw was one of a quartet of men who were able to inspire Victor, at a time when he was at his lowest point. Having lost his job, and his sight, Victor went into a dark depression he never thought he would ever escape from, and then, The Blind Handyman and Blind Like Me show was found.\n\nBeing broadcast on ACB Radio, and various radio reading services throughout North America, the Blind Handyman and Blind Like Me shows offered a look at the blind in a positive light, preaching the word that the blind were not helpless, as so much of the media portrayed. Hearing all that, raised Victor\u2019s hopes that the rest of his life with blindness was not going to be over, just another inconvenience had to overcome.\n\nCome meet Don Shaw, and perhaps you\u2019ll be just as inspired as he was, when he lost his sight.\n\nJoin Victor, as he introduces you to people he meets on a daily basis, allowing you the opportunity to see that disabilities can be lived with, and that they are just inconveniences to overcome.\n\nMeet Me is broadcast on Whose Blind Life is it Anyway, every Mondays, at 10:00 am (EST), 7:00 am (PST), and 3:00 pm (GMT.
