The National Federation of the Blind's  
Bid for Excellence

Help Blind Parents and Parents of Blind Children 

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the blessings we enjoy and to focus
on what is most important to us-friends and family.  This year, Mary Jo and
Jesse have a wonderful new blessing to be thankful for
<http://testnfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=657&qid=43403>
 -the arrival of their first child, Kayla!  As blind parents, they have
found the support of the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) to be
invaluable as they face the challenges of parenthood.  They want the same
things for Kayla as all parents do-a bright future and an opportunity to
succeed.  The NFB provides tools and resources
<http://testnfb.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=658&qid=43403>
  that help build confidence and excellence in their parenting skills. 
You can support the programs that help blind parents and parents of blind
children
