Thank you gentlemen. I saw this earlier and we will discuss this at our meeting. I do not want to forward this. I want to have a conversation and gain support. This will be on our agenda for next Friday.

I will try and collect all I can and mail them by mid-February, if not sooner.

Ohio, I thought this was worth reposting.

Dear friends and leaders,

 I hope to find you well. As you may know, my nonprofit, You Cane Give, provides canes to the blind at no charge around the world to folks who cannot afford canes or if they do not n have the resources to acquire a cane. In Nigeria, for instance, a folding cane costs about $150 USD! So we collect donated folding canes, restore them with new elastic, tips, and vinyl, and send them around the world. I must truly commend the support and giving spirit of many of the chapters and affiliates. Many affiliates incorporate a cane drive for our initiative! From march 3-18, I will bring a team of six folks to Kenya to  bring canes and teach basic mobility skills to the cane recipients and others in the community to keep the training available. We have received about 60 canes from the California affiliate and New Jersey affiliate! Amazing! We also have some coming from Colorado! We are planning to bring 100 canes for our mission. So I am reaching out to all of you! If you would please spread the word about our initiative, that would be greatly appreciated. You can go to www.YouCaneGive.org for more info on how your members can send old canes. We even accept parts. Many times, we may have a good cane but a bad handle. So we use parts to make complete canes. Thank you all for your support! 

Wishing you all well!

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
