Hello Terry and penny,
Yes, the NFB has a loan program, I currently have one and that is
how I was able to aford my transplant.
The max is $3,000 and you can set it up for a one, two, three or
four year payback at three percent.
If you are interested in this loan program, the person in charge
is Curtis Chong, and you can reach him at curtischong at
earthlink. net.
I hope this helps you,
Robert

Hi Penny;
The NFB has a loan program. I think its max is 3 or 4 thousand.
This would be a great help to someone buying a new unit. I do
not remember the interest rate, but it is rather low.
Call the NFB at 410-659-9314

I realize mpower is horribly expensive to just plunk down. And
this question may not be germane to the list. But are there
low-cost loan programs for such things for the blind? Could some
of you who would love the m-power manage to pay back a lo-cost
loan for it within, say, two years? Just asking. If it's too far
afield, throw me out on my tin ear.
