✅ Answer revealed! For #BrailleLiteracyMonth, here's the answer to our Braille trivia question 🚆 Which letter did not exist in the original Braille system? Answer: W When Louis Braille invented the Braille system, the letter W was not commonly used in the French language
Lighthouse Guild Braille Trivia Time! Question: Which letter did not exist in the original Braille system? Answer: The letter W. When Louis Braille created the original Braille system in France, the French alphabet at the time did not commonly use the letter W. As a result, W wasn't included in the original Braille alphabet and was added later to accommodate other languages, like English.

This #VeteransDay, we honor all who served. Meet Mario, a Navy veteran who found community & purpose at GuildCare, which supports his health & safety: bit.ly/4hWWXoU Help visually impaired veterans like Mario: bit.ly/4p9RWMh #ThankYouVeterans
A picture of a quote from Mario that reads "The veterans I've met here, who served in the Navy, Army, and Marines - we've built a special bond. We play pool, sing songs from back in our day, recount stories, and look out for one another. We've become brothers, and I couldn't imagine life without them." Next to the quote is a photo of Mario smiling, holding up a handmade sign that reads "Thank you Mario for your service", with an image of a heart colored like the American flag.
