[Ohio-Talk] National Community Service Project!

[Barbara Pierce]

Maggy, do you have any further information about the size of the blankets? I am picturing a comfort blanket for a small child so that a knitted blanket would be appropriate. Do you think this is right?

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