The Older Blind Support Team provides practical assistance and companionship to older Alaskans experiencing vision loss.
Why It Matters
Vision loss later in life can feel isolating. A ride, a read-aloud, or a regular phone call restores connection and dignity.
The Reward
You will build genuine friendships and bring steadiness to someone navigating a hard change.
