Retiree Edward Solomon is more than a friend to the blind. He is their helper, chauffeur, tour guide and confidante. Five days a week, from Monday to Friday, Solomon helps to run errands for a group of blind friends.

Whether it is trips to the bank, shopping for groceries or paying bills, Solomon thinks nothing of going the extra mile for those who need his services.
