Walter Gadsden Beats the Odds Through Faith and Vision
Walter Gadsden, blinded by measles at eight, regains sight after two corneal transplants by Dr. Clay Everett in Charleston. He later builds a vending machine business starting with one machine, expanding in Greenville and at SRS, supported by the South Carolina Commission for the Blind. Now 52, he champions faith and grit, balancing family and work while continuing eye checks with Dr. Everett Jr.
