[blparent] My story and request for help

Tue Apr 23 15:38:33 UTC 2013

Gabe,
I have attempted to contact the NFB of Kansas numerous times. I have not 
received an email or phone call back yet.
If anyone has a better way from me to contact them, I greatly appreciate 
that.
It was suggested that I seek assistance from the National level 
yesterday. I have contacted the Action Fund for blind adults and 
children. Contacting NFB on a National level is on my list for today.
Thank you for your suggestions.
Pipi

I mean the NFB is here to help right? help us be self relient right? so why can't the state and a couple of champters get together and donate her 6,000 dollars for the child care? i think its a great idea. Hell, why doesn't national donate to this, what is a miniscule 6 grand compared to the millions they win in court every year? hey, Pippy, why don't you ask national to put in on your request?
