One of the best ways to feel better about yourself and your life is to help someone else have a better life. You feel better because you gave help, and the person receiving help feels better from your help.
This week I learned about an amazing app this week called Be My Eyes that makes it easy to give help if you have eyes. “Every day, sighted volunteers lend their eyes to solve tasks big and small to help blind and low-vision people lead more independent lives.”
Here’s what someone who used the app had to say about the app:
“So I downloaded this app called “be my eyes” a while ago. You get FaceTime calls from blind people all over the world and help them with whatever task it is that they need help with. I just got my first call and helped this lady pick out almond milk. Something so small made her day”
“Had the app for 6 months and I finally clicked quick enough to accept the call yesterday. It was a blind man that wanted me to check his piano screen to make sure it said save successful. He was trying to record a melody and wanted to make sure he had saved it. Got a little emotional afterwards. Download the app people! Especially if you speak another language!” – Reddit
“Please consider downloading the app. My father who is completely blind uses it on a regular basis and it helps to add to his quality of life. It allows him some additional independence and enables hobbies that were otherwise impossible.” – Reddit
One of the best ways to feel better about yourself and your life is to help someone else have a better life. This app gives people with eyes the ability to give help to people without eyes. Small acts of kindness make the world a better place. You feel better because you gave help, and the person receiving help feels better from your help.
