That's awesome! Thank you AbleNet.com!

When people disappoint you with their behavior and actions, it’s easy to lose yourself in the negativity. Don't dwell on the brown spots. Cut them out, discard them, and enjoy the rest of the apple. Then tend the garden as a whole to reap better fruit! #DoTheWork

Deep breathes. #FindPeace #DoTheWork

The tariff saga and its impact on disabled people cannot be separated from the administration’s brutal cuts to Medicaid. “It’s really the most vulnerable of the most vulnerable…who need technologies to live.”

"Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present." - Albert Camus #HelpOthers #BeKind #ShowLove #Disability #advocate

Hidden disabilities may limit daily life but aren't always immediately visible. These issues are vast and diverse and can cause significant challenges. Understanding and supporting individuals with hidden disabilities is crucial for creating a more inclusive society. #DisabilityAwareness #BeKind

Happy #Spring! #SpringEquinox

How do you counter cruelty with #kindness, overcome division with #connection, and affect #balance in inequity with simple actions? #volunteer. Join a group cleaning up your neighborhood or help pass out groceries at a food bank. Look up #local nonprofits and ask them how you can help! #DoTheWork

Baby steps, but we'll take it! Just be nice and helpful and you'll be welcome! #ComeOnIn #Baltimore #inclusion

#PeoplePowered indeed! When we stand together, in #support of each other, we are all better off. #BeKind #HelpOthers #equity #inclusion #accessibility

We are proud of our work #helping #immigrants and #refugees families start recovering from the traumas of forced migration. This family from #Ukraine was so happy to get Timofii walking again. Big THUMBS UP! #ECFC #kids #health #wellness #disability #equity #access #HelpOthers

More than 10 million children living with disabilities in the US rely on #Medicaid. This is about 15% of all Medicaid beneficiaries. Cuts to this safety net will be catastrophic, not just for these #kids, but for their whole #family. Call your representatives. Demand #NoCuts to Medicare/Medicaid

In dealing with sustained stress and danger, we suffer. Empathy fatigue, like depression, is a protective reaction to this suffering. Due to neglecting ourselves in favor of caring for others. In this, reject the temptation to isolate. Practice #awareness #balance and #connection as a balm.

Your support goes directly to helping children like Maddison and on behalf of her and us, we thank you! Here she is showing us her fabulous tiny Kidwalk with the sparkle wheels! Go Maddison, Go!!! #ECFC #kids #health #wellness #disability #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityAdvocate

Philanthropy comes from the Greek word philanthrōpos, meaning the "love of humanity". It is the act of sharing resources with others in need. It is the opposite of agressively hoarding resources and attacking all you think want to steal it from you. #love and #acceptance versus #isolation and #hate.

Thank you to everyone who has taken action! Together, we have sent over 11,000 messages to Congress this week! 💪🫶#ProtectMedicaid #HandsOffOurMedicaid

#disability, #equity, #inclusion, and #accessibility are not bad words. We will not stop doing our small part to level the playing field for our #kids. #Maryland #DC #NorthVirginia

We are working with local government to increase access to city parks and therefore #recreation, #BetterHealth, and #therapy for those living with #disability. #EqualAccess #EqualRights #DisabilityRights

Global Refuge condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the false accusations lodged against our humanitarian work. Read our full statement concerning misinformation around our mission. www.globalrefuge.org/news/misinfo...

We love that great organizations like @equipment4kids.bsky.social has people's backs, but we also want to hold companies #accountable for their lack of #accessibility. #SpeakUp for #DisabilityRights and #inclusion. Our #money spends just like everyone elses. If you want it, #DoBetter.

Without #people, #money means nothing. Demand those you hire to represent you put people over #profit unapologetically and loudly. Realign your value system with people, yourself included, at the top. #Wealth should serve the people, not the other way around. #DoTheWork #PowerToThePeople #equity

Most #PublicService rely on grant funding. This will have a catastrophic cascading effect that will unproportionately affect smaller #nonprofits providing direct services to those in need. The quickest, most effective way to destroy the #American safety net. #SupportLocal #Charity #resist

A #GoodDoctor knows that they provide an educated guess based on science and experience and that you are the expert in your body and symptoms. It is a #collaboration. Insist #HealthProfessionals treat you as an equal because you are. #inclusion #accessability #ChronicIllness #disability #SickOfIt

These cuts and freezes to #health and #research organizations will harm #citizens living with #disability and push small #nonprofits like us beyond the limits of our limited resources. When you have #AllTheMoney this is a trivial thing.

#refurbishing some #adaptive #mobility equipment today including this tiny #wheelchair for a tiny tot!! They'll be feeling the wind in their hair before they know it!! (pen for scale!) #disability #AbilityAdvocate #HelpOthers #free #ShowLove

The eyes focus on the bolded part of the word, and the brain fills in the rest. Since the brain processes words faster than the eyes can read individual letters, focusing on fewer letters at a time allows the reader to process faster while still grasping the full meaning. Thoughts? #adaptive

@equipment4kids.bsky.social 😄 you should show up now, we were just 🗣️ 'bout U 😊 #episode68 #assistivetechnology bit.ly/3PHGs2F www.equipforchildren.org
