[Cash-and-caring] New member saying hi

[adrijana prokopenko]

I will read this after work and would be glad to help with ideas even
from afar! I also got a facebook group called:
Blind penpals
and we got  some NFB members there too. It is a group for making
friends and has become a great support platform, so if any of you
would like to join or if you know of anyone else that wants to be
there, you can look the group up there as:
Blind penpals
and click on the join button when you open it.
