About this Opportunity
Hey, feel that tap on your shoulder, it's me and I need your help! That's right very few of us can turn away from a tap on the shoulder asking for help. But this is easy, really easy. Just be who you are and do what you do, but do it with a neighbor who is legally blind and can no longer drive. When you get your groceries, pick up a few things for them, when you get your prescriptions, grab theirs too! EASY! If you like to read or visit the library, take them with you, go to a concert or see a show... yes, they like those things too even if they cannot see all the action.
