<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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.
