[NFBF-Tampa] Information from Self-Reliance, center for Independent Living

[Barbara Gaw]

  Thank you to everyone who has responded so favorably to my news.  Ed, I would think it would be best to go to Self Reliance to make sure your cane is the right length for you, but the easiest way to get an answer to your question is to call Self-Reliance and ask. Ask for Gary; he’s the programs manager.

Hello Tampa NFB Chapter members,
 
  
 
I hope all is well with everyone.  I would like to share some news from Self-Reliance, Inc. our center for independent living here in Tampa.  Self-Reliance is now providing FREE white folding canes for residents of Hillsborough County.  So if you have misplaced or broken your white cane and are not interested in waiting for one to be shipped to you, don’t want the rigid cane provided by the national NFB office, or really don’t want to pay the 40 or 50 dollars you will be charged by the Lighthouse, go to Self-Reliance for a new folding cane.  The address is 8901 N. Armenia Av. Tampa, FL.  The phone number for Self-Reliance is (813)375-3965.  If you need a special length other than the ones they have in stock, one will be ordered for you; it will probably be received within a day or two.  You won’t be responsible for ordering it online or mailing off a cane request.
 
  
 
In other news from Self-Reliance, we will now be offering a scholarship for students with disabilities who live in Hillsborough County to be used for post-secondary education.  The scholarship application and requirements will be available soon on our website at Self-Reliance.org.  If you know of anyone who is planning on going to or is currently in college, planning on going to or is enrolled at a technical school and has a documented disability, please share this information.  Good luck to all who apply!
 
  
 
Have a great week,
 
Barbara Gaw
