PRESS RELEASE:  CFTB received new grant to serve Veterans/Active Military & their spouses

Please share with consumers, consumer organizations, blinded veterans associations and staff.
I am very pleased to announce that Computers for the Blind CFTB has received a generous grant from the Delta Gamma Foundation.

With these grant funds we will be able to provide a laptop or a desktop computer to about 50 Veterans or Active Military or spouses if the person have a visual impairment at $60 off our regularly low prices as follows:

Laptop:
$185-60 = $125 paid by the client

Desktop:
$130-60 = $70 paid by the client

We also recommend that they purchase a fully licensed copy of Typio, which is a talking typing tutorial (Typio) for only $10. This is only $10% of what they would pay retail.

Our computers are now only 3-4 years old so they are faster, more reliable and will last longer that previously purchased computers.

Clients need to provide CFTB with a copy of their military ID or veteran verification. Spouses need to provide a document proving that they are married to the individual.
