[Nfbmo] Help us get back the Baby

[Dewey Bradley]

Thanks Garry!
That's really sad in this day in age that our rights as humans can be 
disregarded, but we just have to keep fighting I guess.
I'm guessing that the NFB will help in this matter?

>> Dear Friends,
>>
>>
>>
>> During our board meeting on Saturday, June 12, we discussed the work we 
>> do including the Johnson-Sinnett case we recently took on. This case 
>> involves a new born baby being taken from the parents and placed in 
>> foster care because both parents are blind. President Wonder emphasized 
>> the importance of us raising money to help with this commitment. We 
>> agreed to track funds that come in specifically for this case and will 
>> conduct a special fund raiser at national convention. Someone asked if it 
>> would be appropriate to solicit funds from friends and family and the 
>> availability of our Missouri Show-Me Contributor form was discussed. If 
>> you would like to help by asking those you have contact with to support 
>> our organization, please feel free to use this form. If they want to 
>> contribute specifically for the Johnson-Sinnett case, Mission Believe or 
>> any other fund for which wededicate funds to, it can be noted on the 
>> form. This will provide our organization with the needed information so 
>> the gift can be formally acknowledge.
>>
>>
>>
>> If you have any questions, concerning how to use the form, please feel 
>> free to discuss them with President Wunder or me. The work we do does 
>> make a difference in the lives of blind people. I hope this tool will be 
>> one that makes your efforts to help carry out our work easier.
