The cost of living is tough right now. For Kiwis who are blind, deafblind or have low vision, it’s even tougher 💛
Everyday essentials such as healthcare, education, employment, even going to the supermarket, come with extra costs when you need additional tools and training to navigate the world independently.
Not having the right support leaves many Kiwis unable to access the essentials and as a consequence, feeling isolated. The financial and emotional toll is real.
You can help change that by helping us raise awareness of the hidden financial and emotional costs faced by Kiwis who are blind, deafblind or have low vision.
[Image Description] A striking, high-contrast poster with a bright yellow background and bold, black text. The main message reads: "This Blind Low Vision Month, we're shining a light on the hidden costs of being blind, deafblind or low vision." Below this, four examples of costs are listed with simple black icons: White Cane, Mobility Training, Screen Magnifier, and Taxi.
