29-Day Giving Challenge





Blessings To All!!

As an adult born with deformities I have faced some challenges in my life. Fortunately, I had an awesome family to uplift me. Even though my family never allowed me to live as a disabled person there were times when I asked why. There were times as a kid I would become depressed. There were times when my feelings would be truly hurt by the stares of a stranger. As I've grown I've learned to accept and deal with those situations in positive ways, but there are millions of children born with disabilities per year and for some it is a nightmare.

I have been asked to be on a panel this coming March in New Orleans (my hometown) to speak on behalf of children with disabilities. I will also be speaking on a separate day to 200 children and teens with disabilities. We would love to give each child an "Uplifting Goody Bag" while we are there. To help us make this a success we have come up with the "Change For Change Program." The way society still views those with disabilities needs to change, so we decided to name our program "Change For Change." You can donate your change to help us deliver goody bags to these beautiful children via PayPal. Every cent counts!
If your heart moves you to donate more than a $1 we are very grateful.

All monies collected via PayPal will be used to place an order for the goody items needed via Oriental Trading. We are putting up $125 and are trying to raise the other $125 it takes to get all items needed. We thank you for your time and continuous support!!
