[NFBMO] Journey Through Blindness monthly call - Invitation

[Nellene Martin]

Hi Jenny, 
Could I please have the link to call in? I’d like to learn more to help a friend who is new to sight loss, and also offer the phone link to him. I encourage him to at least call in, that he doesn’t have to talk, but even just listening could help him. He says he isn’t “deserving”; that others have it worse and he should “quit whining”. He’s had significant vision loss after he had 2 strokes 2 years ago. I’ve known of at least 3 significant falls he has had because he won’t accept help from others or carry a cane. 
I just try to be here for him when he is finally ready to address the issues. 
Thanks! 
Nellene
