Blind people lead happier, healthier, more dignified lives because of Balance. Those are strong words, but a decade of up-close exposure allows me to stand by each one. I spent the past 10 years on the Board of Directors and served as chair for two, including the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. This small but mighty team can adapt to even the most unstable times and always puts clients and their needs first.The organization that started by providing housing to a handful of blind Torontonians now offers several services to hundreds, many beyond city limits. Over the years I've seen clients find places to live and learn how to turn them into homes, tackle new hobbies, master new technologies, land jobs and, most importantly, lead life on their own terms. This is work I wholeheartedly support, and if you do too, there's a way. As Balance turns 40, please consider donating to help empower Blind people. They're better off Because of Balance, and Balance is better off because of you.
