You can change a life in one hour or less, and it might even be your own! Spend time with this dynamic outdoors-woman who loves to ski, hike and play golf. Blind since birth, this individual maintains a high energy, active life-style but needs a sighted guide and someone to assist with driving, and other vision related tasks. She enjoys theatre, arts and movies, loves to read (listen to books on tape) and discuss current events. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy life from a different point of view. Call Today!
