an organization dedicated to helping visually impaired individuals live, achieve, and prosper
A message from Albert J. Rizzi, Founder of My Blind Spot
Each of us in one way or another has a blind spot in our lives. When I first came to be blind, I found that I was forever running into literal and virtual walls; dead ends that blocked my assimilation into the blind community and hindered my participation in mainstream society. Without my sight, not only did the world become invisible to me, but I learned how it felt to be unseen. So My Blind Spot was founded.
My Blind Spotis a place where people of all visual abilities can come together and where the blind can gain a clear view to independence, empowerment, and inclusion. It is our hope to be not just a resource, but a force that empowers individuals.
MyBlindSpot.org is the place where all can come to find answers to questions on visual impairments, advocates for their causes both personal and philanthropic, and a place for the blind. This is the blind leading the blind to a clear view of independence, empowerment, and inclusion. It is our hope to not just be a resource in the lives of our members but to be a force which fosters positive and empowering results for members and society as a whole; one spot where people of all visual abilities can find answers and support on the topic of vision, both actual and virtual.
Peace,
Albert J. Rizzi
