So Much to Be Thankful For!
We have each other – staff, students, volunteers, and many friends and supporters. We have our belief in Blind People and the extraordinary opportunity to share that with each other every single day! And thanks to the generous donations of supporters, friends, and alumni, our Blind students find ways every day to change their lives.
Our tradition is for our students, with the more-than-capable guidance of our Home Management staff, to prepare a full-on Thanksgiving feast. We held that feast a week prior to Thanksgiving itself. As many of our students dispersed to their homes for the holiday, we knew, and they knew they could contribute to every part of the day鈥檚 preparations and celebration. We can’t share with you the wonderful smells or tastes of the preparations or the feast, but we want to share with you a slice of those preparations (pun intended). So, check out our .
We believe you can do anything as a blind person. So, every day, we encourage and challenge you鈥攁nd you come to understand your potential as you build the skills and confidence to live the life you want. Because when you believe in yourself and experience a thriving community of positive blind people, nothing can hold you back from pursuing your dreams.

鈥淚 learned I don鈥檛 have to stay in my room anymore!鈥 That was Alice鈥檚 story after attending our intensive five-day Seniors in Charge program. 鈥(When I lost my vision) I was just going to stay in my room and never leave unless someone came to take me somewhere. Now I鈥檓 not going to stay in there anymore!鈥 and in the years since Alice said that, she鈥檚 been true to those words. She is still living an active, independent life as a blind senior.
