[Ct-nfb] [Ct-NFB] Free white cane?

[Justin Salisbury]

Rich:

I made a few calls and left a few voicemails just now with the right people in Baltimore to follow-up to make sure that your request has been received. If it has not, I will call you later today so that we can make sure that this request goes through.

Good morning all;

Although I am considering the free cane from BESB, I had one of them once before, and I didn't like it. I will admit being made of aluminum it might be a bit stronger, however. It doesn't have that little metal tip on the bottom, and it would get stuck in the cracks while walking down the street. For the most part while walking with my cane I don't necessarily tap it back in fourth I kind of let it glide although it may not be the proper way to use it I find it most effective for me.

However if I don't hear from National, I'll be forced to call the state & get one of theirs. However I must express my disappointment with National on this I know I'm just one person, but this is the 2nd time I've reached out to them for help, and it's the 2nd time I'm being ignored. The first was when I thought I was losing my Social security, and asked for legal help, and they didn't really seem to care. Of course my concern was for nothing, but it was a very scary issue for both Janet & I.

Take care

Rich

Good morning all:

I'm not sure if I've mentioned or not, but I know I put it on face book. About 2 weeks ago, my white cane broke while walking to Stop & Shop to meet my wife. I went on the NFB's web-site and filled an application for a new one, because as we all know traveling independently is almost impossible with out it. At the end of the application after going to the sound test thing. It says this order will not be confirmed without an e-mail confirmation, it's been over 2 weeks now and I've never received a confirmation e-mail. Does anyone know why? Although I don't want to clog up the request form with requests I did fill out another one this morning, if anyone knows who or can contact some one to check on this for me, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Rich
