My Nonprofit Reviews

Words cannot express the depth of my gratitude for the Summer Orientation Program the MAB offers free of charge to adults experiencing blindness and low vision. It changed my life and gave me the confidence, tools and training to adjust to ever changing sight. The volunteers who work tirelessly live with the students 24 hours a day for an entire month teaching skills and supporting each student in finding solutions to overcome their unique challenges. The majority of the teachers are visually impaired and act as powerful role models and mentors. The friendships and training I received help me every day as a business owner. Most of the students reluctantly go into the program, feeling alone, and as if their life is over because of their vision loss. They leave a different person knowing they are not alone and connected to a caring family that includes ongoing support through local chapters throughout the state. I encourage you to support this organization. They deeply care about the people they serve, and are constantly seeking ways to help make their lives better in spite of their sight loss.
