Brailleiant is proud to offer quality custom Braille jewelry,
braille shirts, clothing and other products. The
inspiration behind this website originated with a remarkable and
beautiful little girl - my niece, Sophie. Our family is very
grateful that God has chosen to bless us with such a precious
angel.

Sophie was
born in New Orleans, Louisiana on October 28, 1996 with a rare
genetic disorder called Fraser Syndrome. One aspect of Fraser
Syndrome is a condition called Cryptopthalmos, which means
“hidden eye.” |
Sophie’s
Cryptopthalmos meant that she had skin covering both eyes.
During the first 18 months of her life, many surgeries were
performed attempting to give Sophie a chance to see.
Although
the surgeries may have been unsuccessful, Sophie has not allowed
her blindness to become a handicap. Instead, she has
accomplished much more than many average youngsters of her age.
Her extraordinary pursuit of learning will no doubt be an
awesome life to witness. While Sophie is only ten years old, she
is an absolutely brilliant student with an amazing zest for
life. She is extremely passionate about her faith and is forever
collecting money for the less fortunate.
To help
support Braille and blind awareness, ‘BRAILLE’iant! will donate
$1 per necklace or bracelet sold to the Volunteers Service
Council of L.S.V.I. (Louisiana School for the Visually
Impaired). The Volunteer Service Council is a wonderful
organization which raises money for the students and programs at
LSVI. Money raised goes towards work study programs, purchasing
uniforms and supplies as well as helps to fund recreational
trips for the students. Thank you for your support!
