[Nfbf-l] Fwd: FW: Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is helping one of our own!

[Holly Idler]

Debby,
Some people have their ideas as to what blind people need. Sometimes, no
matter what you do or say you cannot change their mind. This is the case in
both the sighted people as well as blind people. I feel like I am  hitting
my head up against a brick wall many times both in my coworkers as well as
my family and friends.
Thank you for letting Ann know how we feel about the textured walls.
Holly
