Maybe you can get some free technology.

The STEP-HEAR system is an orientation and mobility device based on
radio frequency (RF) technology and is comprised of two units: a
transmitter/base and a small receiver/activator. Installed at strategic
locations, the base sends out a continuous signal. When the activator,
held by the user, is within the range of the base, it vibrates and
beeps. Pressing a button on the activator will trigger a pre-recorded
voice message from the base. This helps the user to obtain information
and become oriented toward the location, be it an office, an elevator or
a bus. The system can be used virtually anywhere: government and
municipal buildings, post offices, schools and universities, museums,
conferences and exhibitions, hospitals, nursing homes, banks, ATM
machines, stores, hotels, transportation vehicles, recreational places,
and more. Designed with universal recognition, activators can be used
anywhere in the world.
For more information on obtaining the system or getting it into your
community, contact:

Texas Center for the Physically Impaired and Refurbished Computers
For 15 years, the Texas Center for the Physically Impaired has operated
a program where, for a $100 donation, they will provide individuals who
are blind or visually impaired within the US or Canada with a computer.
The computer is a refurbished unit that includes keyboard, mouse, sound
card, monitor and speakers. They use Windows XP machines that businesses
donate. The computer also includes a demo version of the Window-Eyes
screen reader and a demo of the ZoomText screen magnification software.
If a recipient can use ZoomText, the person is able to get a licensed
version for free from TCPI thanks to the generosity of Ai Squared. Also
included is a seven-tape tutorial on how to use the computer. For more

J D Lewis Wildlife Prints: A Unique Vision of Nature
<http://feedproxy.google.com/%7Er/FredsHeadCompanion/%7E3/hkwXdl9CmpE/j-d-lewis-wildlife-prints-unique-vision.html>

From the website:
"Hello. My name is John Lewis, owner of JD Lewis Wildlife Prints. Once a
dedicated wildlife artist and graphic designer, I have long since set
aside my paint brush to pursue other career ventures. My decision to
leave the art world was largely influenced by a blinding eye disease
called Retinitis Pigmentosa, or (RP). Today, I have lost roughly 95% of
my vision, therefore, I am no longer producing new artwork. However,
during the 1980s, I was blessed with enough central vision and
self-discipline to enable me to produce a number of original detailed
wildlife drawings and paintings. At this time, I am offering a superior
quality Giclees reproduction of my wildlife art and I am confident that
you will love your print and will enjoy it for many years to come!"

Every time someone buys a JD Lewis wildlife print, 5% of that sale will
be donated to The Foundation Fighting Blindness (FFB). Donations to FFB
will help increase the funding that drives the research, which will lead
to cures and treatments for retinal degenerative diseases, such as
retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration and the entire spectrum of
retinal degenerative diseases. Exciting advances have been realized in
the areas of development of an artificial retina, gene therapy, retinal
cell transplantation and pharmaceutical treatments.
