“I can crack eggs and I make sourdough bread. There’s nothing I can’t do. Obviously, I can’t drive to the grocery store, but I can Instacart like it’s nobody’s business.”
“We feel incredibly grateful to Braille Institute for responding so immediately and positively to our request for help, for the many hours Patty spent with us, and for all the resources and very useful tips she shared during our sessions and through email. We were also very impressed that Braille Institute was able to FedEx a package of materials for Leo to use. I’m just so grateful that places like this exist for people to reach out to when they need help.”–Karly Godoy, Tashirat Orphanage
