[nabs-l] Urgent: A Fellow Student Needs You

[Jonathan Franks]

Joe,
Thank you for sharing this. Here in Texas, we definitely have shared
this amongst our State ListServe, Student List, Chapter lists and all
of the NFB of Texas social media accounts and our very own. However,
there may be individuals on this list that can provide assistance that
the aforementioned options have not reached.

I second Joe's request, if you can help please do so. Harley is a long
time member of the NFB of Texas and a personal friend of mine.

Thank you all

Jonathan Franks
Board Member
National Federation of the Blind of Texas
Treasurer
Texas Association of Blind Students

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create
obstacles between blind people  and our dreams. You can live the life
you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
