[Nfbofsc] Ruston Recovery for Blind Residents

[Steve & Shannon Cook]

It would be great if our state could donate to the recovery!

 

Ruston Recovery for Blind Residents On Thursday, April 25, 2019, a tornado
touched down in Ruston, Louisiana, doing significant damage to the homes of

many members of the National Federation of the Blind of Louisiana. Ruston is
home to the Louisiana Center for the Blind, one of the world's strongest
programs

for instilling confidence and cultivating independence in blind people.
Fortunately the training facilities of the Louisiana Center for the Blind
were

not directly impacted although the homes of many staff and volunteers
sustained unbelievable damage. While no one was physically hurt,
considerable work

and expense faces these families as they secure temporary housing and begin
the long process of repairing and rebuilding their homes. The National
Federation

of the Blind is coordinating donations to assist impacted families who are
part of Ruston's exceptional training programs for the blind. Working with
blind

leaders in Ruston we will be identifying needs for assistance and directing
funds to where they are most needed. Donations can be made to the National

Federation of the Blind with a note that they are for Ruston Recovery for
Blind Residents. Please send your donations to National Federation of the
Blind,

200 East Wells Street, Baltimore, Maryland, 21230, or visit
