"I am only one; but still I am one.
I cannot do everything, but I still can do something.
I will not refuse to do the something I can do."
—Helen Keller

The American Foundation for the Blind, founded in 1921, and the organization to which Helen Keller devoted her working life, is a national nonprofit whose mission is to ensure that the millions of Americans living with vision loss enjoy the same rights and opportunities as other citizens.

Your donation goes a long way in supporting this mission, you will help us expand life's possibilities for the millions of people who already count on AFB—and for the 200 more children and adults who will lose their eyesight in the months ahead.
