[nfb-db] White Cane Program

[Madelon Holder]

Hi,
I received this email.  I am not familiar with this program but I would
like to be informed.  I work with adult clients in a day center for
blind and visually impaired adults.  Many clients I can refer to CBVH to
get a free cane.  Some are not eligible but still need a cane for
increased independence in mobility, or lose their cane and need a
replacement quickly.  Would you please send me the particulars of
eligibility for this program. You can email me or mail to

Free White Cane Message
 

     If you have received a cane through our Free White Cane Program,
then this message is for you!  We are preparing outreach materials, and
would like a few quotes describing how you felt about getting your free
cane.  Whether this was your first cane, or if you're an experienced
cane user, we want to hear what you have to say.  For many, the White
Cane is a symbol of independence, self-sufficiency, and freedom.  Please
take a moment to tell us in a paragraph or two what the cane you
received through the Free White Cane Program means to you.  Please
e-mail your comments to jwilson at nfb.org.
 
Thanks,
Joanne Wilson
