Rob my brother is looking for a buddy. He is blind and would like to have more social contact. He likes to go out, for example walking. He usually sits alone at home and listens to the radio and no other hobbies. It would be nice to give him more company and exercise instead of sitting inside. Unfortunately the buddy he had on Monday to walk with stopped.
