<div style="direction: ltr;">Dear Sonia,</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Your notification inspired me to send you this response with all sincerity. Would you be or would you allow me to
<u>advocate</u> for the Elder Blind & Low Vision consumers through this Company? </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">This type of help and assistance is not offered through the elder B/LV programs.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I am a recently elder blind consumer. I can enroll & attend the local university in my area for free, as well as, take degree and non/ degree classes due to my age. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I can start a private educational consulting business from my home, given the proper B/LV skills. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">This would be so beneficial since I don\u2019t drive anymore.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I am a retired Certified Career Educator of 33 years. My goals are to stay independent personally and financially, if possible.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"> I would appreciate a return response. Thank you for your consideration,</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Dr. Jamilah Mubarak</div>
