I totally agree, Judy. 
 
 How about we keep this fund going and get the brailler for each child  in 
the contest--for starters?
 
It seems every state Voc Rehab and DBS, under MOU--whatever it is called in 
 each state, with DOE bring the education and tools needed for all students 
who  are blind/visually impaired. 
 
Money is not the issue with government agencies being 'broke', the problem  
is the distibution of said funds and POLICY. 
 
I promised myself I would not get myself started tonight. I'll hold myself  
to this. We CAN get this done-- new people, new energy, new narrative, new  
approach to those that control the purse strings that hold OUR monies. No 
need  to go in with bulldozers--it is a new narrative that is being born for 
greater  proactive work for the kids.
 
I am new to much of this, only been in this blind community 5 years, I'd  
heard Braille is not taught in many school districts. It took this wonderful  
device and realizing our kids need more voices to bring them what they are  
needing for education.
 
I am preaching to the choir, I am sure, I hope something 'new' has come  
into my words for someone to grab onto for effective change. 
 
Just sayen. Add to this somone.
