It's #firstfriday and time to hear from a first-time OpWalk volunteer and new member of the #opwalkfamily. Today we feature Kathy Kilaghbian, physical therapist. Thank you Kathy for helping our patients get on the road to recovery! “My name is Kathy and I am a physical therapist. I want to thank all of you for inviting me to be a part of this amazing team. I have been feeling a bit isolated working solely in home healthcare and I had forgotten how meaningful it is to work together along side my colleagues towards a common goal. I was so taken with the warmth, love, and positive attitude of the Cuban people. That made my job a joy to do. All of the people I met will be in my heart forever, this has been one of the best experiences of my life. I am so thankful to all of you, my fellow volunteers, for making me feel so welcome. I hope I have the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful organization again.” -Kathy Kilaghbian #opwalk4cuba

White Cane Awareness Day - October 15 Today we celebrate White Cane Awareness Day, an important event dedicated to raising awareness about the independence and mobility of people who are blind or visually impaired. The white cane is more than just a mobility tool—it symbolizes freedom, safety, and confidence. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson officially proclaimed October 15 as White Cane Awareness Day to honor the achievements of people with visual impairments and promote the critical role the white cane plays in their lives. ? But why white? The white color was chosen for visibility, so pedestrians and drivers can easily recognize it, especially in busy or low-light conditions. Along with the standard white cane, there are a few other variations: White Cane with Red Tip: Indicates a person is blind or has low vision. Green Cane: Often used by individuals with low vision. White Cane with Red Bands: Typically signals that the user is deafblind. ? What should you do when you see someone using a white cane? ? Give them space: Avoid grabbing or pushing them. Let them navigate on their own. ? Offer help if needed: If they seem lost or struggling, ask if they need assistance—but never assume. ? Be mindful at crossings: Drivers should be aware of white cane users and yield the right of way at pedestrian crossings. ? Respect their independence: The white cane allows users to move independently, so provide help only when it’s clearly necessary or requested. Let’s take this opportunity to learn, raise awareness, and celebrate the resilience and independence of the visually impaired community. Image Description: A person holding a white cane, walking across a tactile pavement, symbolizing White Cane Awareness Day. The cane has a white upper half and a red lower tip, signifying its use by people with visual impairments. Bold white text on the right side reads "White Cane Awareness Day." #WhiteCaneAwarenessDay #Accessibility #Inclusion #DisabilityAwareness

About a year ago, I began envisioning what I wanted the WayMaker big-picture vision to look like. I sat with it for some time. I realized that my vision mirrored my own life — reflecting on being witness to how my parents cared for and loved their parents and older aunts and uncles. In doing so, our family’s legacy and connections are rich with stories and mementos that have helped define who we are. It is now my siblings and I stepping into those shoes as my parents get older. At the core of my vision is an aspiration to honor older adults, keep their legacies alive, and be of service. Here is our vision statement — The WayMaker Vision Through WayMaker’s example, older adults who are facing significant turning points along life’s journey are guided throughout their move to new beginnings with empathy, kindness, and patience. Our Biggest Aspiration: To honor older adults by respecting their legacies and life stories in hopes that we help create a better future for the next generation. Our philosophy is to grow WayMaker organically, having faith that we are being guided to do the right thing and be of service. Your Journey. Our Mission.
