Every donation, large and small affects positive change.
Within our generation, people with disabilities were locked away from society with a belief that they had nothing useful to contribute. Although much progress has been made in the past fifty years, individuals with disabilities still struggle to be seen, heard, valued, and included.
YOU can be the difference. Together, we can achieve our vision of a community where all individuals with disabilities flourish.
