> Many visually impaired people in our community voiced their interest in owning a WeWALK Smart Cane and how it would greatly benefit them, but are faced with limited opportunities.
>  
> We listened to our community by bringing together visually impaired people who find value in our smart cane and a network of donors who can lend their support.  Due to the generosity of these donors, people who are blind or visually impaired can benefit from our smart cane at no cost to them, whatsoever!

> What Will The Fundraising Platform Provide To You? 
>  
> This fundraising platform enables smart canes to be crowdsourced for all individuals and removes financial constraints as a barrier. Fundraisers can share their stories with the public; supporters can review and contribute to their individual campaign.

> Take a look at our fundraising platform to better understand how others are participating: https://www.wewalktogether.io

> How Can I Open A Fundraising Campaign?

> It is easy to get started! Just create a profile and share your brief story and why you want to have a WeWALK Smart Cane!
>  
> Sharing your fundraising campaign link on your social media and across your network is a plus, but not a must.

> Why Should You Start A Fundraising Campaign NOW?
>  
> We wanted to share this information with our community first before we announce it to the public.
>  
> Our goal is to prioritize our first-time fundraisers and deliver WeWALK Smart Canes before opening the platform to the public and starting extensive announcements.
>  
> By the way, there are some people who have already completed their campaign and received their WeWALK Smart Canes.
