	Anne Sullivan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sullivan’s father was an alcoholic and sometimes abused her, but he also passed on to her Irish tradition and folklore.
		Sullivan spent all her time with her younger, crippled brother (who, like his mother, suffered from tuberculosis) in hopes that they would never be separated; however, Jimmie soon died in the infirmary.
		When Sullivan was three she began having trouble with her eye-sight; at age five, she contracted the eye disease trachoma, a bacterial disease that affects the eye and can often lead to blindness, because of the scar tissue it creates.
