Thanks Lisa,  I did suggest those to Kayla and she was told by Shriners that they don't assist with vision only physical needs.  Kayla has not had much success with the Lions Club in their area so I contacted a good friend of mine in Iowa who is a Lion's member and who helped with Saturday School activities for several years to see if he can assist Kayla in talking to the right person in Nebraska.  I will pass on your caution to them to weigh the risk with the benefit of this surgery if it is highly invasive.  I think Kayla knowing that people around the country are praying for her son is wonderful comfort.  
 
Thanks so very much.
 
Merry-Noel

Merry-Noel, have this family contact their local Lions Club or Shriners. I am a nurse and I know that both of these groups look for children to help based on medical and finacial need.  I would also caution them to weigh the risk with the benefit of this surgery if it is highly invasive. Our prayers are with them.

God bless this family for trying to do all they can for their child.
However, they are viewing blindness as if the child's life would be over. As
Federationist, we know this is not the case. I would encourage the list to
not forward pleas for fundraising, etc. especially when the fundraiser is so
pulling on the strings of what a "tragedy" blindness is.

I got news folks, all those saying they have a cure, are not always up front
about the risks and benefits, etc. How much do you want to put your
child through?  It is always a balance and we don't know until we have been
there.  Blindness is not the end of the world.  It is tough, but so are a
lot of other things that happen in life.  We will be lifting this family up
in prayer and hope all others will as well.
Blessings,
The Harper Family

Susan,
Thank you for your kind words or prayer.? I will pass that on to Kayla and her family.? 

BTW, I know this family very well and they don't and didn't for one second ever?think of blindness as a tragedy- it is the cost for surgery that is the problem.? My husband and I have been around as Kayla grew up.? I am blind and my daughter is blind and as a Federationist, I hope that I have been a positive influence for her over the years.? They never once thought or said that his life?will be?over if he becomes blind.? He is in good hands.??

Thanks again for all the prayers.

Merry-Noel

National Federation of the Blind and Blind Business Owner
File Complaint with Small Business Administration





SBA's Inaccessible Web Site Discriminates Against the Blind



Baltimore, Maryland (July 22, 2009): The National Federation of the 
Blind, the nation's oldest and largest organization of blind people 
and the leading advocate for equal access by the blind to information 
technology, and Virgil Stinnett, a blind business owner from 
Honolulu, Hawaii, filed an administrative complaint today with the 
Small Business Administration (SBA).  The complaint asserts that the 
SBA's Web site violates Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act because 
it is inaccessible to blind people who use text-to-speech screen 
access technology or Braille displays to access information on the 
Internet.  Because of the inaccessibility of the SBA Web site, blind 
people cannot fill out forms on the site or take online courses 
offered by the SBA.  Mr. Stinnett was unable to apply for 
certification under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act because of 
the inaccessibility of the Web site.  Section 8(a) certification 
would provide Mr. Stinnett's business with access to federal and 
private procurement markets.



Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of the Blind, 
said: "Blind Americans have the same dreams, the same goals, and the 
same entrepreneurial spirit as all other Americans.  If we are to 
have equal access to the tools and techniques needed to be effective 
business owners and to compete on terms of equality with our sighted 
peers, we must have equal access to the resources offered on the SBA 
Web site and other government sites.  The National Federation of the 
Blind demands equality for blind business owners and will tolerate 
nothing less.."



Virgil Stinnett, owner of Good News HI, a business providing military 
dining services, said: "As a blind entrepreneur, access to the SBA 
Web site is critical in order for me to use its programs and services 
and expand my business.  The fact that I could not access the Web 
site has cost me time and resources that I would not have needed to 
expend if I had been able to use the site like everyone else.  I hope 
the action we are taking today will prompt the SBA to take immediate 
steps so that all Americans, blind and sighted, have equal access to 
the programs, training, and resources that it provides."
