Cheryl
So happy for your cousin!!! Pray for me I have some stuff going on for me as far as my housing there’s been a bit of a snag as paperwork before I can move into. Also pray for a friend of mine who is blind, Sandra Petkovic, she’s not an NFB member but some people here might know her. She recently had a stroke and is at Fairlawn Hospital in rehab. Please keep her and her family in prayer. Thanks
Owen

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create
obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life
you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
