I answered my first Be My Eyes call

For those who don't know, it's an app for blind people to make video calls for help with visual tasks. I've had it downloaded for a while, but there's a 10:1 ratio of volunteers to blind users (which is a good thing!), so I've never managed to be the first person to respond.

Well the other night when I swiped to answer a call, I was the first one and got to assist a guy with matching pants and tops while packing an outfit for his little girl. Was a quick call but felt good to be able to help, and I'd encourage others to sign up as well!

Ooo no, I don't think I could help with matching outfits. Glad you were able to.

Hah, it was literally just identifying which colors/patterns they were, no fashion advice.

The 10:1 ratio of volunteers to users makes me feel good about the good people are capable of :D
