Being born fifth of five living children out of eight born to J.F. and Verdie Mooneyham in March 1964. Back when they did not know about the dangers of eating under-processed farm meat such as cow and pig meat, drinking unpasteurized milk, when no one had ever heard of the dangers that digging in the dirt where a cat had done their business when a woman was expecting a child, and what that could cause. I was the one who was born with the effects of all these horrible side effects. Hello, I am Lesia Mooneyham Fox, and I was born with Toxoplasmosis, Which is transmitted to the unborn child from the mother through contact with the cat’s fesses, under-cooked meat, and unpasteurized milk. Without the mother even knowing, she is harming her unborn baby. This is my story, what is has been like growing up as a visually impaired person, having to learn to live as an almost sightless person in a sighted world.
For me I did not realize I was different until I began to get older, probably about four or five and had trouble finding thing. I really don’t remember much about my early childhood, mostly what my family has told me. I do remember however, that I was my daddy and grandma’s shadow; where ever they were, I was right behind them. We had a farm, and I loved going to the barn with them to milk the cows, and to feed the chickens and gather the eggs. I loved being outside. I was a little tomboy.
I started school when I was six years old at our little school that was in our community named after my Grandpa, Mooneyham. It was a little two room school house with four grades in each room. I went there two years, and then they combined the two communities Mooneyham and New Martin, because they were both on that side of the mountain of Van Buren County near Fall Creek Falls. They named our new school Mountain View,
