> Dear Fellow Federationists:
>  
> Thanks to you, the National Federation of the Blind has a tremendous impact on the lives of blind people of all ages—and maybe you have benefitted from our advocacy and philosophy yourself. If you missed #WhiteCaneGiving day, we hope you will give what you can on #GivingTuesday, which is coming up November 27.
>  
> All gifts make a difference and your support makes the Federation stronger. I want to share a few recent examples of the impact that the NFB and our network of leaders and mentors have on the lives blind people:
>  
> One of our scholarship recipients wrote:
>  
> “I am grateful for the scholarship, but more importantly, I am grateful for the terrific leaders I have met. They have taught me to dream bigger, pushing my dreams beyond what I once believed to be possible.”
>  
> A teen who attended YouthSlam for the first time said:
>  
> “Too often being blind means we are ignored at school because our teachers think we are not capable of science, math, engineering, or technology. I know I can do it and YouthSlam gave me the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with it.”
>  
> An NFB BELL Academy parent and donor said:
>  
> “I could go on and on about what an impact BELL has had in our family’s lives, but I will leave it as, ‘the impact is huge.’ I wanted to let parents that are new to this journey know that this wonderful opportunity existed and help with funding to keep the program going with a low cost to the families. Every little bit helps, right?”
>  
> Help us continue to share the gifts of confidence, literacy, education, independence, and so much more. You can contribute on #GivingTuesday by:
>  
> 1.    Donating online at nfb.org/donate2018
> 2.    Sharing our message on social media by using the #WhiteCaneGiving hashtag and directing people to nfb.org/donate2018, and sharing our giving posts
> 3.    Setting up a Facebook fundraiser for the NFB; Facebook and PayPal are matching donations Tuesday, November 27
>  
> Please feel free to reach out to me personally at 410-659-9314, extension 2422, or pchang at nfb.org.
>  
> Thank you so much for everything you do to help blind people live the lives we want.
>  
> Sincerely,
