[Faith-Talk] Braille Hymnals

[BRUCE&JOY BRESLAUER]

Maybe there could be a fund raiser.  If not a church fundraiser, a town 
fundraiser.  If 140 people put in five dollars apiece, you'd have seven hundred 
dollars right there.  I know of a church that found Braille copies of an older 
hymnal they used to use for something like ninety dollars apiece.  Check with 
the publishers or the transcribers or the church denomination to see what 
options they may have concerning placing Braille hymnals in parishioners' 
hands.  Often these are priced out of an individual's ability to afford.  Joy

That wasn't my intent Linda. They are trying other options. You are lucky to be 
working. I just found out about a BLE accounts. If I was working I would be 
saving up. I don't appreciate you putting me in the category of every other 
blind person wanting stuff for free. Currently my medical issues don't allow me 
to work. If we don't want to be stereotyped then we have blind people shouldn't 
start to stereotype other blind people.

We volunteered to pay for half and the church can't even pay half.
