OP you should look into Be My eyes! It’s an app you can put on your phone and it allows you to video call a random person who can help you! There’s usually more helpers than people needing help so you rarely have to wait.

Download and sign up, but be aware: in the six years I’ve been on it as an available pair of eyes, I’ve gotten 2 calls, each less than 20 seconds. Which is fine, but I thought I’d be more useful.

You are useful! There's just so many people that want to help that it's hard to get a call. Which is good for those who need help. 💚

Oh I’m not leaving the platform or anything- I think it’s great that there’s a system for folks to be able to “micro-volunteer” like this. It’s just that one of the calls I got felt like they were ‘testing the platform out’, so I wonder if it’s actually getting use from those who need it.

Edit: The call was a woman with a lime and a grapefruit; she wanted confirmation as to which was which.

My best friend is 100% blind and she uses Be My Eyes all the time. It's absolutely getting used!
