This invaluable tool has become a pathway to, and a symbol of my independence. Had it not been for the national Federation of the blind, I would never have picked up that cane.  I sincerely believe that I would not be the confident person that I am today.

We believe that blindness is not the characteristic that defines us.   every day we raise the expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles between us and our dreams. We can live the life we want, blindness is not what holds us back

I never send this kind of post out but if you happen to have a few extra dollars and you want to contribute to a very worthy cause, I would encourage you to go to NFB.org click on the  donate box and give what you can.  It is an amazing organization to which  I am so proud and grateful to belong.
