[NFBMI-Talk] From Daniel Garcia: Success Story - Federationist In Missouri Tells How He Came To Own His Own House

[Kane Brolin]

Hello to all my fellow Federationists and supporters of the National
Federation of the Blind in Indiana and Michigan.

On Saturday, October 8, 2022, I remember giving a talk about the concept of
ownership in front of the virtual Indiana Affiliate State Convention of the
National Federation of the Blind.  In that talk, I focused on how critical
it is for us as blind citizens to attain ownership over our money and over
our data.  Once we have done this, it will seem much more plausible for us
to believe in our hearts that we can own our future.

In the United States, home ownership plays a big contributing role in this
business of owning our money and owning our future.  What I present below
is the link to an episode of the *Able Today* podcast in which Daniel
Garcia, president of the Kansas City Chapter of the NFB of Missouri, talks
about steps he went through earlier this year to become the successful
owner of his own house.  The episode itself, available on Spotify, is found
at this link <https://open.spotify.com/show/2gIcyBMK2anSepYunbff73>.

If you want to read the article Daniel wrote for *The Braille Monitor*,
find it in the June, 2024 issue: How I Became a Blind Home Owner in Fifty
Short Days
<https://nfb.org//images/nfb/publications/bm/bm24/bm2406/bm240607.htm>.

Further details from Daniel himself appear in the forwarded message below.
Enjoy.

Dear Friends:



On August 19, I was interviewed on the Able Today podcast. The topic was
how I bought a home using my ABLE account. This podcast resulted from an
article I wrote that was published in the June issue of the Braille
Monitor, the flagship publication of the national Federation of the Blind.
Below are the URL’s to the podcast interview.

*Private voting is a right, it should not require sight.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
