r/blind I downloaded Be My Eyes because I wanted to volunteer and help blind people with visual tasks.
When I opened the app, I noticed something surprising. It shows how many blind users and volunteers there are in the network.
There are about 912,960 blind users and 9,390,312 volunteers.
So volunteers outnumber blind users by more than 10 to 1.
For all the negativity you see online, moments like this remind me that a lot of people quietly want to help others. It made me feel good about humanity for a minute.
