I am writing to tell you about a new, free service for the blind community: Read This To Me is a free reading service for the blind, powered by volunteers
and Internet collaboration.

ReadThisToMe allows blind and low-vision people to have printed documents read to them over the phone. All the blind person needs is a phone line and a
fax machine (no computer is required.) Here's how it works:

The blind person faxes the document to be read to the ReadThisToMe toll-free fax number: 1-877-333-8848. The first page of the fax needs to be a cover page
that includes the client's first name and callback (voice) phone number. The document itself can be just about anything: a handwritten letter, a bill,
a can of food, a multi-page magazine article -- just about anything that can be faxed Then, one of ReadThisToMe's volunteer readers will call the client
back and read the document.

The service is available throughout the U.S. and is absolutely free, though donations and business sponsorships are accepted.

More information is available at
www.ReadThisToMe.org.
Or, a recorded message describing how to use the service can be heard by calling 1-877-333-8847.

I created this service as a tool to help the blind. I hope you'll consider announcing it on the Marrie.org blog and wherever else is appropriate.
