Goal
Blindness Changes Everything.
People who are blind or visually impaired endure hardships most of us can barely imagine. Things that were once routine and taken for granted may gradually or suddenly become insurmountable hurdles.
That's where Leader Dogs for the Blind comes in. From white cane training to matching people with a Leader Dog, we provide the tools and training to reintroduce people to a life of independence, confidence and companionship. It's a way of living that leads to a new perspective on life.
For people who are blind or visually impaired, the loss of sight is only the beginning of a life-changing reality. As the simplest to the most complex everyday tasks become daunting, these individuals often become depressed, anxious and isolated.
Please add an additional donation to Leader Dogs for the Blind. Each year, 75,000 people become blind or visually impaired, but only 10% travel independently with a guide dog or white cane.
Your gift is what makes it possible to introduce people from all over the world to life with a Leader Dog. Thanks to your generosity, all our services are provided free of charge.
