<p>Good morning NFBO,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>One of my sisters was rushed to the hospital last night you can still contact me but if the responses are slow,
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>please understand.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>You can reach out to Suzanne or any of the leaders to assist in an emergency but under normal circumstances email me direct and I will forward the messages if necessary.<o:p></o:p></p>

the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination, and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
