良心呢？萨市盲人协会筹款！建筑接二连三被破坏！
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The vandal left shattered glass, but failed to shatter plans at Sacramento's Society for the Blind in Midtown.
破坏者留下了碎玻璃，但没有破坏位于市中心萨克拉门托盲人协会的计划。
Staffers discovered broken glass at the non-profit on Monday morning. Someone took rocks and smashed through both the front and back doors to the building's new annex, where participants were set for their first day of a retreat for seniors experiencing vision loss.
周一早上，工作人员在这家非营利机构发现了碎玻璃。有人拿着石头，砸穿了大楼新附属建筑的前门和后门，这是失明老人静修的第一天。
It is the second time in a matter of months the building has been vandalized or burglarized, forcing the non-profit to launch a fundraising campaign to make repairs and security improvements.
这是数月来该建筑第二次遭到破坏或入室盗窃，迫使这家非营利组织发起筹款活动，以进行修缮和改善安全状况。
The glass doors will be boarded up at least a week.
玻璃门至少要用木板封上一个星期。
Until repairs are made, the program for seniors will be displaced.
在修复之前，这个为老年人设计的项目将被转移。
"We are a resilient bunch of people, and we have to take this, as much as we can, in stride," said Shari Roseler, Executive Director.
“我们是一群适应力很强的人，我们必须尽可能从容地应对这一局面，”执行董事莎莉•罗斯勒(Shari Roseler)表示。
Roeseler said staff members, many who are blind themselves, moved the seniors to an upstairs room where they can maintain social distancing. However, it's a bit difficult for the participants who are losing their vision and learning how to live independently amid a pandemic.
罗塞勒说，工作人员把老年人转移到楼上的房间，让他们保持社交距离，其中很多人本身就是盲人。然而，对于正在失去视力和学习如何在大流行中独立生活的参与者来说，这有点困难。
They are learning new skills such as using a white cane, basic braille, and more. That's why the non-profit is launching a fundraising campaign to make repairs.
他们正在学习新的技能，比如使用白色的拐杖，基本的布莱叶盲文等等。这就是为什么非营利组织发起了一场筹款活动来修复。
"Every bit helps to do all these repairs and get things back up and running fully again and we're so grateful the Sacramento community is very generous," said Roseler.
罗斯勒说:“每一点都有助于所有的维修工作，让一切重新恢复正常运行，我们非常感谢萨克拉门托社区的慷慨。”
The Society for the Blind is looking to raise $26,000 to also add more security features to the building after this case of vandalism and theft in a matter of months. In July, one of its vans used to transport seniors to the center was stolen out of a car cage.
在发生了几个月来的蓄意破坏和盗窃事件后，美国盲人协会打算筹集26000美元，为这座建筑增加更多的安全设施。今年7月，一辆运送老年人到中心的货车被人从车箱里偷走。
"They took the catalytic converter and destroyed the wheelchair ramp, so now we have to get a new van. And even with the insurance claim, it doesn't cover the cost of a brand new van," Roseler said.
他说:“他们拿走了催化转化器，毁坏了轮椅匝道，所以现在我们得买辆新面包车。即使是保险索赔，也不包括一辆全新面包车的费用。”罗斯勒说。
Both cases are being investigated by the police department, she said.
她说，警方正在调查这两起案件。
It's been a tough year, but Roeseler said she's hopeful community members can lend a helping hand.
这是艰难的一年，但是Roeseler说她希望社区成员能伸出援助之手。
