[Nfbmo] Help us get back the Baby

[Gary Wunder]

We have hired an attorney and a legal assistant. One costs $225 an hour and 
the other around $80. The NFB will definitely help. Now, like the Little Red 
Hen asked, "Who will help us make the bread?"

Warmly,

Gary

>>> 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.
