Even when we've offered to<br>pay someone to read or provide transportation our offers of compensation<br>are<br>often declined.<br><br>To give you an idea of what we're experiencing we have about a year and a<br>half worth of snail mail needing to be read. Not all of it can be read<br>using<br>a computerized system and the sheer volume of mail can be gone through<br>more<br>efficiently using a live reader.<br>It's the live reader we've had extreme difficulty finding.<br><br> For a while after moving here we had a neighbor who assisted us with<br>our<br>mail and with transportation when needed but she moved back to California.<br><br>I<br>asked my sister and other family to assist us but that's opening a very<br>nasty can of worms. My sister offered to take a watch of Mary's needing<br>to<br>be repaired to the jeweller. When asked when she would bring it back she<br>told us when she had time. Mary needed her watch and we were not going to<br>put up with such noncommitment. We entrusted her with some of our<br>property<br>and she was refusing to return it to us. It took threatening to contact<br>her<br>local police department to make her return the watch to us.<br>Mary had her watch several hours later. There have been multiple<br>catfights<br>between us and them and we're no longer willing to put up with such<br>behavior. Having her read our mail is inviting her and other relatives in<br><br>to<br>our personal business. I used to have similar arguments with my mother<br>when<br>she was alive. We only want someone to read our mail for us not try to<br>run<br>our lives and stick their noses in to matters where it doesn't belong.<br><br>Mary has had similar issues on her side of the family. To be fare however<br>all of her relatives live out-of-state so getting this assistance from<br>them<br>is impractical.<br><br> As I indicated previously we contacted various agencies and<br>organizations in our area to find readers and drivers all to no avail.<br>Ours<br>is just one of God only knows how many other blind people that are<br>experiencing this difficulty.<br><br> So the blind individual is not removed from selecting the<br>reader/driver<br>of their choice the NFB could partner with agencies and organizations<br>willing to provide this assistance to blind individuals. It would then be<br>the responsibility of the blind individual to contact these individuals<br>or<br>organizations to find the person who can best meet their needs. The<br>Cincinnatti Association for the Blind and the Clovernook Center for the<br>Blind provide these services to blind individuals in the greater<br>Cincinnatti<br>Area. I believe the Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind in Washington D.C.<br>also provides this service to blind individuals in the D.C. area. I<br>contacted the San Antonio Lighthouse for the Blind concerning this matter<br>but was told that they do not provide such a service.<br><br> It's obvious that we did our homework prior to posting this idea to<br>the<br>list for the group to consider.
