Jahmil

Jahmil is an 18-year-old teen from Northern Virginia who is blind. Since high school graduation, he has been training in independent living skills, including tech and home skills, braille, travel skills and shop classes. He has always been active, playing football with his older brother and benefiting from his younger sister’s gymnastic skills, crediting them with indirectly teaching him many life skills. After completing his training course, he plans to pursue a BA in communications and a Masters in “cane travel” so that he can be an instructor for the blind community. The MacBook Jahmil received has a built-in screen reader that will help him with his studies, job search and creating music, his passionate hobby. We’re delighted he found The Eric Fund through the MLK Library in DC.
