Blind Month highlights independence and service dog needs
Mindy Mies, blind since age three, shares her journey toward independence with support from the National Federation of the Blind during Meet the Blind Month. The Lawrence chapter urged awareness as Mies navigates daily life, school programs, family life, and a search for part time employment while Ada, her service dog, aids her city walks and crossings.
