Colorado, Heard 

Many of our neighbors with vision loss experience Colorado through sound: the rustle of the morning paper, a friend's laugh on the phone, aspens rattling on a trail. Aftersight began in 1990 as one voice reading the news aloud to people who could no longer see the page. For 36 years, that voice has echoed into audio news, support groups, book clubs, assistive devices, and trail adventures across the state.

 More than 100,000 Coloradans are blind or have low vision. Every gift helps make sure that when they call out, someone answers. Where Your Echo Goes Local news, out loud: Newspapers, magazines, and community news in audio, in English and Spanish. Someone who answers back: Virtual support groups where people find others who truly understand. A story worth hearing: Audio book clubs full of great books and lively opinions. Voices in your earbuds: Original wellness podcasts with practical tips and real encouragement. Tools in hand: Free white canes, smart speakers, and smart glasses for independence. The sound of the trail: AudioTrekker hikes, accessible walks, and socials that get people back outside.

 "Being able to hear my local news reconnected me to my community, my world." — Bette, Aftersight listener
