I retired a couple of years ago. I love cats, we have a sanctuary near my 
house. I finally got up the courage to ask if I could volunteer, one of the 
people who works there said she didn't want me there because of my 
blindness. I ended up writing them a bad review on facebook and guess what? 
All of a sudden it was okay for me to volunteer. I go a couple of days a 
week, it's not perfect, but I can hug and hold cats and kittens, which 
always makes me feel better.

I am a teacher of the visually impaired and blind children. I live in a 
small community, so it is difficult to find volunteering options. I did help 
out our local school last year, but I didn’t get enough hours. Just wondered 
if anyone else had any ideas and could help me.
Thank you very much.
