My Nonprofit Reviews

Blind Babies Foundation serves families of children with various disabilities as well as blindness. The children usually have been identified somehow as babies with visual impairment. Blind Babies counselors, teachers of the visually impaired, connect with the child in the home, bringing hope and strategies for raising these children. As the parent of a child with visual impairment, the grandparent of a multiply disabled child with visual impairment, I know how isolated these families feel. The support and help provided by Blind Babies Foundation is a lifeline that these families really need and appreciate. I know many families who have been served by Blind Babies Foundation. The support offered is life-changing, for parents and children, enabled to live a "normal" and fulfilling life. One of the children I know, now grown, has gone on to earn a Master's degree and serves disabled people himself. Another is a professional chemist and professor of chemistry at a California University, who offers blind teenagers an opportunity to master chemistry despite their visual impairments. The start enabled by Blind Babies counselors has helped them and many others to go on to achieve their full potential, rather than being relegated to busy work in their classrooms, being left behind their sighted peers.
