With Valentine's Day right around the corner, there's still time to share the love with beautiful Helen Keller-themed gifts that help support the American Foundation for the Blind and its programs. Plus, all jewelry is on sale for a limited time. You can choose from a sterling silver ribbon-heart necklace inscribed with Helen Keller's quote "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart" or a striking silver cuff bracelet with the same quote.
Or how about an accessible, low-vision-friendly Helen Keller eCard? Our Helen Keller eCards are high contrast, large print, and screenreader-friendly, featuring beautiful archival photos with quotes from Helen. These electronic cards are accessible for people who are blind or have low vision, and allow you to type in your own personalized message. (They are also free to send, and help raise awareness about the important work of the American Foundation for the Blind.)
