I know there are a lot of causes that need your support right now, but I'd like to offer up Liberty Resources, where I have worked for 8 years. Our annual fundraiser, Independence Ball, benefits the Sheryl Raiss Transition to Freedom Fund, which provides assistance for people with disabilities to transition out of costly and isolating nursing institutions. Your donation could help subsidize the cost of moving, so that these individuals may access their civil right to live full, independent lives in their own homes in the community.
The average cost of leaving a nursing institution to your own apartment is over $1,600-- a high sum to save up when institutionalized.
Every dollar donated helps us relocate and support people with disabilities in safer, integrated housing in the community. Every penny helps us save lives.
