<div>Please keep Sherry Ruth in your prayers. She is having a very
difficult time. Please pray that the doctors can determine the
best way to handle her cancer. She is now struggling with broken
ribs from resuscitation efforts. Lord, bless and strengthen
Sherry and comfort Tom.</div>

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.</div>
