Payton

Payton was born with congenital infantile nystagmus, strabismus and amblyopia. She is also legally blind in one eye. On top of that, she deals with anxiety and ADHD. There is no cure for nystagmus. She’s had 2 surgeries to help with the strabismus and amblyopia, and she will require future surgeries with these issues. She receives special education services at school to aid with her disabilities as she cannot read or watch the teacher for long periods like other children can. She cannot watch a TV or computer screen for long periods as her eyes tire so quickly from the constant shaking due to the nystagmus. Her dream has always been to meet and see the princesses from Disney up close. Like really get to talk to them and interact with them. Payton enjoys spending time with her family and her dogs, dancing around the house and watching the Cubs play (she loves Kris Bryant).
