[Blindtlk] {Spam?} Lions Center for the Blind

[Ericka]

I am not aware of what you do. I understand the fear. WI has nowhere for adults 18-60 and still or trying to work. VR contracts & all atate services focus on elders or youth. They refuse to send people out of state for blindness training age appropriate, career focused & higher ed. supporting. 

I have nothing to give but prayer. If you send more details offline i will share with my lions club.
