Description
Imagine navigating the world little or no vision. Every step, every sound, every moment—dependent on trust, courage, and the kindness of others.
Now imagine you being that kindness.
Volunteering with people who are blind or visually impaired isn’t just about giving your time—it’s about giving someone the freedom to live more fully. It’s about being a voice when they need to hear one, a guide when they need direction, and a friend when they need connection.
Why should you volunteer?
- Because your presence can turn isolation into inclusion.
- Because your voice can bring stories to life.
- Because your heart can help someone feel seen.
You don’t need special skills. Just compassion, patience, and a willingness to walk beside someone—literally and figuratively.
