[blindkid] Need to invite new parent to group

Thu Nov 7 22:20:34 UTC 2013

How do I invite a new VI mom to the group? Her son is 4 mo old and got an infection that caused total blindness 2 weeks ago. She is like a fish out of water and I thought this would be a great place for her to ask questions and receive encouragement!

Thank you,
Darci Hooks
