The history of Braille Cards Dot Com began with a meeting between two friends; one sighted and one blind. The blind friend wanted to provide greeting cards that were available in Braille and other raised images since 1976. The sighted friend wanted to be able to send his blind friend an accessible braille card that he could re-read over and over again without the assistance of a reader.
On March 4, 2000, in Lamar, Missouri, Bob Varney had the idea to produce braille greeting cards. Using AT&T dial up internet service, Patrick J. Fischer purchased and registered the domain BrailleCards.com. Later that month Braillecards, LLC was created and what started out as an idea became Bob's dream come true.
