Not all superheroes wear capes—some wear black belts. Meet Dominic Segura, a remarkable 12-year-old whose heart is as strong as his kicks! As part of his Black Belt Project in Tae Kwon Do, Dominic set out to make a difference—not for himself, but for others. Inspired by a close friend with a visual impairment, he chose to support Vision Forward, an organization dedicated to empowering individuals with vision loss.

With unwavering determination, Dominic raised an incredible $300 and collected an impressive assortment of thoughtful donations, including crayons, scented Play-Doh, crib sheets, and more—items that bring joy and accessibility to children with visual impairments. His generosity will directly impact Vision Forward’s programs, funding a PenFriend for the organization’s demo toolkit and supporting both adult and children’s services.

Dominic’s kindness reminds us all of the power of compassion, community, and action. At just 12 years old, he’s proving that one person can make a real difference—and we couldn’t be more honored to be the recipients of his efforts.

Thank you, Dominic, for your incredible heart and dedication!
