[Nfb-krafters-korner] answer for Naima

Thanks

No, I still have some sight but not enough to see colors or patterns. I have
light perception, just enough vision to tell if the light is on or sometimes
depending on which way the sun is positioned, I can tell if the sun is out
or not.

Yes, It is very frustrating to convince people I can help with volunteer
positions in spite of my disability. My family doesn't understand me
sometimes because I'm different, and I don't understand them either.

I do my best with this condition.

Naima

I understand. Most of us are the only member of our family who is blind. It
definitely takes a lot of education on our part. Have you lost your vision
recently? That can definitely be a challenge. I hope you will find groups of
blind people who can provide you with information. This is a great group of
people. We are glad you joined us.
