This would really help me. I'm in the news paper. Because this is up on the blog, doesn't mean I wrote it. It's a news article.

I have a paper cliping here that I want on my blog.  I did not write this article and the person who did has her name still in the article.  Please read and pray.  That's the purpose of it being here. 

 

All of the credit goes to thw writer of the article. So enjoy.

 

Sean Ray: BrailleNote would be step toward achieving goals

Beth Nakamura/The OregonianSean Ray (right), husband Todd Ray (left,
background) and friend Jesse Russell get a kick out of garbled
pronunciations in an
audio edition of a prayer book Sean Ray wrote.

 

Sean Ray has plenty of energy and ambition. She has written three books,
teaches computer basics as an Independent Living Resources volunteer and
leads
a women's support group there. She moderates a prayer group online and does
a women's Bible study, too.

 

"I'm not 'Super Blind Person,' though," she says with a laugh.

 

Ray, 39, and her husband, Todd Ray, who also is blind, live in a Beaverton
duplex with her golden retriever guide dog, River, on a combined income of
$934
a month. They met at a bus stop near American River College in Sacramento
and married in June 2000, refusing to simply move in together as some
advised,
although marriage reduced their Social Security disability income quite a
bit.

 

As busy as Ray is, she has still more dreams:

 

To add a regular ministry out of her home to the weekly Bible studies she
does.

 

To publish her Christian young-adult novel, "Breakthrough at Silver Lake
Camp."

 

To return to college so she can become a disability advocate, like those who
work for Independent Living Resources, a Portland nonprofit dedicated to
helping
people with disabilities.

 

"My heart is actually for people and teaching people and showing them, 'Yes,
you can succeed,'" she says.

 

Whether she becomes a disability advocate, writes books or continues with
her home ministry, Ray very much could use a BrailleNote, a sort of laptop
designed
specifically for blind people, to help her achieve her goals.

 

"Now I want to do the college thing. If I could just get a degree and use my
writing, I could change some ideas," she says.
