This Tuesday is the big fundraiser ofr nonprofits in Washington State. The Washington Council of the Blind (WCB) is participating and could use your help.
Why should you care?
The work of WCB has an affect that goes way beyond the Pacific Northwest. We are an all-volunteer, grass roots organization that advocates for opportunity, equality, and independense for people who are visually impaired.
Do you think the services we have today are available because a sighted peerson thought it was a good idea? NO! Blinded veterans coming back from the World Wars pushed hard to rehabiitation services so they could manage businesses, farms, and live independently. Their efforts resonated with people who were blind. They organized and got vocal.
We've come a long way with public awareness and accessibility with technology. The unemployment figures tell us we have a long way to go.
Keep the momentum going. Follow the link below. You can give as little as $10 and make a difference.
