John Mulka, Chief Executive, Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind

Thank you so much for your kind gift of $15000.00. We are already putting it to good use, providing essential practical and emotional support to New Zealanders who are blind or have low vision.

Losing your sight can turn your life upside down and it’s thanks to the caring support of people like you that we can help Kiwis adapt to life without sight. Whether it’s providing counselling, learning to get around or relearning daily tasks like cooking dinner; your support helps ensure someone who has lost their sight doesn’t lose their independence.

Guide dogs, Talking Books, support with technology, education and employment –and ultimately, independence, confidence and freedom. It’s all possible thanks to the generous support of people like you.

So thank you again; you really have done something amazing.
