Helen Keller was born in 1880 in Alabama as an only child. At the age of 19 months, Helen had a terrible fever. When Helen was finally cured, her parents found out that Helen was blind and deaf. When Helen was seven years old, her parents found out that a woman named Ann Sullivan could help Helen. Ann taught Helen how to do many things. Helen grew up and went to Radcliffe College. In her adult life, Helen helped the people who were blind and deaf just like her and taught them to think they could do things other people could do. Helen kept going helping the blind and deaf until her deaf in 1968.
