What Our Clients Are Saying

“The readers at Blind Service Association were instrumental in helping me complete my courses and earn my degree. They helped with my studies, preparing for exams, completing homework assignments, and reading the many textbooks that were required. BSA has been such a vital resource and a great organization for me to belong to since 1974. 1974! That’s nearly fifty years!”
Carrie Foreman
BSC Client
“I have received services from many agencies for the Blind, but Blind Service Chicago is by far the best. I first started receiving services when I was in high school.  At that time Blind Service only accepted college students, but they agreed to provide services to me.  This illustrates the characteristic that meant (and continues to mean) the most to me — their flexibility and willingness to accommodate many different situations. Blind Service Chicago with its programs, staff, and volunteers is a truly wonderful organization.”

“I’ve been a client of BSC since my law school days in the early ‘80s, and don’t know how I could have done it without assistance from so many great volunteers.”

“I would not have been able to make it through the pandemic without my wonderful readers! Having them available to read to me over the phone, and even help with Internet tasks has kept me connected.”
