Blindness Changes Everything
Blindness can slow you down. Free services from Leader Dog make people unstoppable.
Each year, 75,000 people become blind or visually impaired, but only 10% travel independently with a guide dog or white cane. Your gift is what makes it possible to introduce people from all over the world to life with a Leader Dog. Thanks to your generosity, all our services are provided free of charge.
Leader Dog is the answer for thousands of people who are in critical need of their services. Because we, Leader Dog and the Belle Isle New Year's Eve Run, believe every person deserves equal opportunity for travel and independence, all of their services are provided at no cost, covering expenses for training, room and board, and travel to our campus from anywhere in the world.
People who are blind or visually impaired face challenges that many of us can't imagine. Leader Dogs for the Blind helps by offering white cane training and pairing individuals with guide dogs, providing the tools and support needed to regain independence, confidence, and companionship. This support can transform their perspective on life.
