> Dear Federationists:
> 
> Thanks to you, the National Federation of the Blind has had a tremendous impact on the lives of blind people of all ages—and maybe your family has benefitted from our advocacy and philosophy. Please help continue our work by participating in #GivingTuesday, which is coming up December 3.
> 
> All gifts make a difference and your support makes the Federation stronger. I want to share a few recent examples of the impact that NFB programs and our network of mentors have had on the lives of blind people:
> 
> One of our scholarship recipients wrote:
> 
> “One of the things that I think about as I study education is the value and importance of mentorship and learning from others. I have tremendous mentors in the National Federation of the Blind, tremendous people who push the expectations higher every day. I want to give that knowledge to those that I can help most.”
> 
> A teen who attended NFB EQ for the first time said:
> 
> “I would like to thank you for the NFB EQ program. I learned so much about engineering, and how to make it accessible as well as so many other things about being a person with a visual impairment. After attending the NFB EQ program I became fascinated with how tactile tools allow the blind to access the competitive field of engineering and decided that what I learned should be shared with others.”
> 
> An NFB BELL® Academy parent and donor said:
> 
> “I could go on and on about what an impact BELL has had in our family’s lives, but I will leave it as, ‘the impact is huge.’ I wanted to let parents that are new to this journey know that this wonderful opportunity existed and help with funding to keep the program going with a low cost to the families. Every little bit helps, right?”
> 
> Help us continue to share the gifts of confidence, literacy, education, independence, and so much more. Contribute on #GivingTuesday by:
>
