John Hewitt's vision loss in 2025 did not deter him from continuing his volunteer work. He had been helping provide diapers to families in need at the Nashville Diaper Connection after his retirement. Despite his sudden loss of vision, Hewitt remained driven to help others.
His determination has earned him recognition as a My Hero. As a result, a $250 donation will be made to the Nashville Diaper Connection, his charity of choice, courtesy of Bart Durham Injury Law.
Further details about John Hewitt's story and the My Hero recognition are available, including a photojournalist's work on the feature.
