"One of the best features of your service for my mom is the human voice. She is 94, blind and lives alone… your readers are her companions."
“My mom listens to The Weekend program and often attends events she hears about that are going on in the Fort Wayne area.“
"The Audio Reading Service is my contact with the outside world, and I am very grateful to you!"
