You could start with the Sacramento Society for the Blind; they should at least be able to give you advice on where you might apply. If you can think of good reasons how this equipment could really help you in your day to day living, you could try your local Lions Club or even the Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation. Your age can also make a difference and sometimes the older you are the better. Your reasons need to be based on how this equipment would add to your independence, not just your desire to have it. I hope this helps and feel free to write to me off list if you like. My E-mail address is jillocon@xxxxxxxxxxx
