Subject: [Ohio-Talk] Adopt a senior

Good morning,

I wanted to update everybody on our affiliates adopt a senior program. As
many of you know, this year, due to the coronavirus situation, mini high
school and college graduating seniors are not getting the in person
recognition that they deserve and were looking forward to. For this reason,
our affiliate with our student division has established and adopt a senior
program. So far we have 16 wonderful blind students who are graduating this
year and who are signed up for the program.

What we are asking our chapters, divisions, and individuals to do is to
adopt one of these seniors. Some of them are listed on the Facebook page NFB
Ohio adopt a senior. Others are students at the Ohio State school for the
Blind. Looking for gift baskets, gift cards, or anything these deserving
young people would love to have. If you are interested in adopting one of
the seniors on the Facebook page, just send them a message that way letting
them know that they are adopted and they will give you their contact
information. Due to privacy issues, the students at the school For the blind
will need their items sent to the school. We do not have full names of those
students, but I am in the process of getting a list of at least first names
and area of the state. If you would like to adopt one of these kids, please
let me know. We want to make sure every one of them gets adopted by at least
somebody.

Thank you to everybody in the Ohio national Federation of the blind
affiliate! I know your generosity will really help make these students
graduation time Special!

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