Anne Sullivan, was an American teacher, best known for being the instructor and lifelong companion of Helen Keller,[1] who contracted trachoma, an eye disease, which left her blind and without reading or writing skills.[2] Sullivan received her education as a student of the Perkins School for the Blind where upon graduation she became a teacher to Keller when she was 20.[2]
Sullivan was born on April 14, 1866, in Feeding Hills, Agawam, Massachusetts. According to her baptismal certificate, her name at birth was Johanna Mansfield Sullivan; however, she was called Anne or Annie from birth.[3] She was the oldest child of Thomas and Alice (Cloesy) Sullivan. Her family emigrated to the United States from Ireland during the Great Famine.[2] When she was only five years old she contracted a bacterial eye disease known as trachoma, which created painful infections and over time made her nearly blind.[2] When she was eight, her mother died and her father abandoned the children two years later for fear he could not raise them on his own.[2] She and her younger brother, James ("Jimmie"), were sent to an overcrowded almshouse in Tewksbury, Massachusetts (today part of Tewksbury Hospital). Jimmie had a weak hip condition and died two to three months into their stay. Sullivan remained at the Tewksbury house for four years after his death, where she had eye operations that offered some short-term relief for her eye pain but ultimately proved ineffective.[3]
