Son Carries On
Mother’s Generosity
The Charitable
Gift Annuity
During a visit to Junior Blind’s Los Angeles
campus, Palmer witnessed first-hand the
lives he and his mother had been helping
to change with their gifts. It made him
yearn to do more. Palmer not only
increased his giving, but he also made an
estate commitment to Junior Blind.
“Visiting Junior Blind made me feel good
about what I was doing,” remembers Palmer.
“That is why I increased my support.”
During his tour of Junior Blind, Palmer
learned more about the vast array of
services Junior Blind offers for people with
visual impairments, including early
intervention, education, rehabilitation and
recreation programs.
Palmer also learned a few things about
blindness and accessibility, like the fact
that tactile paving found near curbs was
especially designed to assist those who are
visually impaired or that the shapes of the
placards on restrooms communicated
gender for those without sight—a circle
for women and a triangle for men.
A U.S. Navy radioman that served on the
U.S.S. Orleck DD886 in the 1950s and
longtime professional in the technology
field, Palmer was especially interested in
the way technology was used to make life
more accessible to those without sight.
Our extensive assistive technology lab
teaches those who are blind how to use
adaptive software on the computer and
how to use a handheld GPS-like device to
navigate city streets and buildings. And,

The Gift that
Gives a Return
PALMER LANGDON’S MOTHER WAS A LOYAL,
LONGTIME FRIEND TO JUNIOR BLIND, SENDING
A GIFT EACH YEAR IN SUPPORT OF OUR
STUDENTS WHO ARE BLIND, VISUALLY
IMPAIRED OR MULTI-DISABLED. WHEN SHE
BECAME UNABLE TO WRITE HER OWN
CHECKS, IT WAS PALMER WHO HELPED HER
CONTINUE IN HER GENEROSITY. AFTER SHE
PASSED AWAY, PALMER WAS PLEASED TO
PICK UP WHERE SHE LEFT OFF AND BECAME
A SUPPORTER OF JUNIOR BLIND, HIMSELF.
A Charitable Gift Annuity
(CGA) is a great way to
create a lasting legacy
with Junior Blind and
receive a fixed income for

Palmer was especially taken with the

Palmer’s visit to Junior Blind validated his

a lasting legacy through an estate gift that
would help protect Junior Blind’s critical
services for generations of blind children
and youth to come.
On behalf of our children and their families,
we thank Palmer and his mother for their
dedication and support. We cannot continue

Nineteen-month-old Lilyana
and her Junior Blind Specialist,
Laurie, began their session
with their favorite song,
“Row, row, row your boat,”
and sensory play with a

MESSAGE FROM MIKI JORDAN
Each day, our students

Thankfully, loyal and
generous friends like you

can receive early intervention services and
build the foundation for future learning.
Kids like Levine featured on page 3, can
benefits from the same enriching
summer activities that children without
disabilities enjoy—all within a safe,
supportive environment.
Youth like Brigitte featured on page 3, can
obtain the tools and support they need to
make the transition from high school to
true independence in the real world.
You make this possible for our students
with every gift.
We invite you to visit one of our many
locations to see your gifts at work and to

Thank you for your continued partnership!

Rand Corporation: Proven Benefits of Early Childhood Interventions
J U N I O R BLIND OF AMERICA
Shyanne and her
husband Ricky thought
that the worst was over
when they were finally
able to bring home their
new baby girl Lilyana
from the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit
(NICU). Lilyana was five
weeks premature, so
bringing her home really
meant something extra special.
Tragically, their world would be turned upside down.
With time, it became evident that Lilyana was blind.
She was diagnosed with optic nerve hypoplasia.
Worse yet, Lilyana had a cyst in her brain and
would either struggle academically or be completely
developmentally delayed. Only time would tell.
Despite their profound grief over Lilyana’s
diagnoses, Shyanne and Ricky wasted no time in
seeking early intervention services for Lilyana.
Thankfully, they found Junior Blind!
At Junior Blind, Lilyana found her road to greater
independence and her parents found the support
they needed to help them get through this
difficult time.
“Junior Blind has been a life-changing experience
for the whole family,” says Shyanne. “Lilyana is
learning how to compensate for her lack of vision
and her other delays, while her father and I are
learning how to support her and each other on
her journey.”
Since beginning to work with her Junior Blind
Specialist, Laurie, Lilyana has learned to pass
objects from one hand to the other, take steps
with some assistance and distinguish her family’s
different voices, among other achievements.

“Junior Blind has helped my daughter learn skills
that come naturally to typical children,”
Shyanne says.
Shyanne, Ricky and Lilyana have found an extended
family at Junior Blind. Attending support groups,
playdates and our Camp Bloomfield have helped
them see that they are not alone.
“We are truly grateful for Junior Blind,” says
Shyanne. “They’ve changed our lives and made a
real difference in Lilyana’s future.”
Thank you for
the memories!
Early Intervention
Matters
Junior Blind is pleased
to offer critical early
intervention services
to babies, like Lilyana,
through our Infant &
Early Childhood
Program in Southern
California and Blind
Babies Foundation in
Central and Northern
California.
Since 85% of all early
learning is visual, a
child without sight is
at great risk for
developmental delays.
Unlike children who
can see, blind babies
are not able to learn
how to walk, eat, play
or do much more by
mimicking those
around them.
Fortunately, effective
and intensive
intervention in the
early years can help
enhance a little one’s
use of available vision
and encourage the
development of
other vital faculties
and skills.
Junior Blind’s in-home
programs are
designed to help
families enhance the
development of their
infants and toddlers
who are blind, visually
impaired or
multi-disabled—free
of charge to families.
But, we can do this
only with the support
of generous friends
like you.
“My name is Levine and I had a great
summer at Junior Blind! I went swimming,
played with Wilbur the tarantula, learned
yoga, read Braille books and baked
zucchini muffins. Thank you Junior Blind!”
Nine-year-old Levine is visually impaired and was a
participant in Junior Blind’s summer enrichment
program—an innovative program that integrates
children who are blind or visually impaired with their
sighted peers. Levine and our other children enjoyed
a variety of activities that promoted healthy eating, fitness, STEM
(science, technology, engineering and mathematics), Braille and more!
“My name is Brigitte and I had a
transformational experience at
The Hatlen Center, a program
of Junior Blind! I learned to manage
my money and pay my bills, shop
and cook for myself, travel using
mass transit and much more. I also
had my first job experience at a
local animal nonprofit. Best yet,
I gained my independence!
Thank you Junior Blind!”
Twenty-year-old Brigitte is visually impaired and recently graduated from
Junior Blind’s Hatlen Center in San Pablo, California. She now lives on her own.
A nationally-recognized residential rehabilitation program, The Halen Center
immerses participants into the real world, within a supported environment.
Participants live in their own apartment and learn to manage their own affairs.
As a teenager, Brigitte also attended Junior Blind’s Student Transition &
Enrichment Program (STEP) and participated in the Junior Blind Olympics, both
of which helped give her the confidence to move to Northern California and
attend The Hatlen Center. All of us at Junior Blind are incredibly proud of
all her accomplishments.
Special thanks to Smucker’s® for their support of the jobs program.

What will be
your legacy?
You do not have to be a millionaire to make a difference in the lives
of those who are blind, visually impaired or multi-disabled.
There are many ways to create a lasting legacy and enrich the lives
of our students now and for years to come.
HERE ARE A FEW EASY WAYS THAT YOU
CAN SUPPORT JUNIOR BLIND:
CHARITABLE BEQUEST
INSURANCE POLICIES
Bequests are the most
popular type of planned gift
because they are easy to
establish and have many
advantages, like allowing you
to make a substantial
contribution to Junior Blind
without reducing the financial
assets you have available to
you during your lifetime.
Like retirement accounts, you
can name Junior Blind as a
beneficiary of an insurance
or annuity contract. Any
benefits Junior Blind receives
are excluded from your
taxable estate.
RETIREMENT PLANS
Naming Junior Blind as a
beneficiary of all or a portion
of your IRA, 401(k), 403(b) or
other retirement account
is easy. You simply fill out a
beneficiary designation form
indicating Junior Blind as a full
or partial beneficiary. The funds
Junior Blind receives through
these accounts will be tax-free
for your heirs and your estate.
SECURITIES
Gifts of stock, bonds, mutual
fund accounts are also
welcomed and appreciated
now or via your estate.
Please make a legacy gift
and help ensure Junior
Blind’s critical services are
available for future
generations without sight.
Dedicated friends who remember Junior Blind in their estate
plans automatically qualify for Junior Blind’s Legacy Society.
To learn more about how to create your legacy with
Junior Blind, please contact Dana P. Goland at (323) 290-6294
or [email protected].
Please note that all planned gifts can be made to Junior Blind anonymously.
