🎶 Callin' all you angels... 🎵
There is an app called Be My Eyes that you can download to your smartphone and help vision impaired people! https://www.bemyeyes.com
Basically, if a blind or low vision person needs help with a task, like reading the expiry date on a carton of juice, or they dropped an earring and can't find it, or they need to check an article of clothing for stains, etc., they can put out a request for help on the app. The app then notifies the sighted users that someone needs help, and whoever accepts the task connects with a video call to help the person with whatever task they need.

THIS IS THE COOLEST THING and a great example of the kinds of life changing benefits that can happen when technology is used for the greater good.
It's also another thing that makes me lament not having a smartphone. It's not available in the Kindle store! 😭
According to their website, they have 1,332,805 volunteers, 80,729 blind and low vision users, are available in 150+ countries, and in 180+ languages!
So if you've got a smartphone, you can be a human angel for people any time! 💙
That Red Fish your momma always warned you about
