NASH Johnson has vision loss, but that has not stopped him from playing his beloved football.
Thanks to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and the support of Bluebirds United Football Club, the 12 year old has been able to stay in the game.
Mum Cresta said Nash started to lose vision two years ago and was eventually diagnosed with Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy.
She said when that happened, he felt he lost a part of himself and his social network.
"Then a senior team player at his club took him under his wing to help him in the team to keep him positive and give him confidence that he can do this, and now he's his support worker through the NDIS," Cresta said.
