"Let's organize our lives around love and care.
Let's organize our lives around love and care
Let's write each other letters and call it prayer
Let's congregate in the place that isn't anywhere
At the temple of broken dreams"
—Temple of Broken Dreams by Ezra Furman.
Staying alive is a lot of work for a disabled person in an ableist society.
We provide real help against the onslaught.
We believe that direct support to individuals is the most effective approach to alleviating the barriers and challenges that prevent neurodivergent and disabled people from thriving.
