Hi Arnie,
The big one that I support and know most about is firststepsfortheblind.org,
ran by our friend Cathy Pyper. She and her husband are both blind. They
have monthly meetings, picnics, parties, keep a small fund to try to
purchase inexpensive equipment for folks like canes, voice recorders, color
identifiers that can make a world of difference and make life much easier,
and generally make sure that a person losing their site has a network of
friends they can count on and access to information on all the resources
available to them as a person transitioning to a world without site. They
can be reached at 816-455-52 19 or from the web site above, or by writing
directly to cpyper@xxxxxxxxxx

Hi all,
I apologize that this is not tech related specifically, but I am
wondering if you have contact information for support groups in the KC
metro for individuals who have recently lost their sight or in the
process of going blind. Seems I recall seeing some references in the
past but cannot recall the contact persons.
Thanks
Arnie Abels
