Be the Gift Someone Needs Today

This giving season, you can be the gift of encouragement, connection, and opportunity someone needs. For a person who is blind or has low vision, access to information, technology, and community can make a meaningful difference in everyday life. Your generosity helps make that access possible.

For more than 52 years, Metropolitan Washington Ear, Inc. (MWE) has worked to ensure that vision loss does not prevent people from staying informed, connected, and engaged in their communities. With the support of friends like you, we provide services at no cost to the individuals who use them.

Imagine listening to the day's news, learning to use technology that makes information accessible, reading and writing in braille, or traveling through your community with greater confidence. Your gift can help make opportunities like these available to more people.

Your support helps MWE provide:

• Radio reading and dial-in services that provide access to news and other information.
• Braille reading and writing instruction, opening another way to communicate and engage with written information.
• Assistive technology training to help people use accessible tools and devices.
• Orientation and mobility services that support safe and confident travel.
• Audio description, which makes the visual elements of performances and events accessible through spoken narration.

MWE is facing serious financial challenges, and your support is especially meaningful at this time. Your generosity will help us continue working to make these important services available at no cost to the people who depend on them.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 by January 15, 2027. Every gift, whatever its size, brings us closer to that goal.  Be the gift of encouragement someone needs this season.  Be the gift of information, independence, and connection.  Be the gift someone needs today.

Please make a gift, share this campaign with a friend, and help us spread the word about MWE's mission. Give today. Be the gift.
