Leave a Bequest
Every day, many thousands of Australians drive from A to B in their car without giving it a second thought. Yet for people who have vision impairment, travel is often no simple matter.
Like a car, Guide Dogs enable people to move around safely and independently. In fact, every Guide Dog costs about the price of a car. This cost includes buying the puppy, as well as its training, care and supervision, and ongoing training with a client.
Guide Dogs, along with all our other services, are provided free of charge. And since we receive no government funding, we rely on bequests and donations to ensure people who have vision impairment can travel independently in your community.
So whether large or small, your bequest will be valued greatly, because it will change the life of a person who is blind or has vision impairment. You will help someone to live independently - and that's a rather remarkable gift indeed.
Your bequest will support our many services for people who are blind or have vision impairment, including:
- Guide Dogs
- Orientation and Mobility training
- Cane training
- Electronic mobility aids
- Low Vision Clinic and services
- Pets As Therapy Program, which provides trained companions for people who may be disadvantaged because of age, illness, disability or isolation.
- Stroke Program
- Accessibility and advocacy
