So inspiring!

That's great. I will respect this organization if they pay their employees minimum wages or more and there's room for advancement and opportunities. I'm legally blind myself and I have a college education and I refuse to work for sub-minimum wages, while the CEO's who are sighted are making huge record profits off blind people that are making pennies or nothing. As the cost of living keeps going up, you can't live or survive on sub-minimum wages.

Hi Holly, we agree that a livable wage and opportunity for advancement is incredibly important! All of our employees make above minimum wage. We try to live our mission, which means that many of those in leadership positions at our organization are blind, including our CEO.
