Oh and yes it's a charity with only disabled clients.<br /><br />Oh and I am a crip. And while I too can be crippled (often by others but also pain) I like crip, it is neutral. I dislike (as in not-like) disabled (as in not-abled??) as I do have some abilities just not all of the ones considered a full compliment.

I wish sometimes we could have an day in which to experience, being blind, deaf, loosing a limb or being in a wheelchair and then go around doing the same things they we doeach day and experience being in some one elses shoes:-)<br /><br />This would be an exercise in understanding what it's like even if temporarily.<br /><br />I know that my family and friends that travel or go out with me, truly understand the challenges I face on a daily basis and they finally get that aha moment when it registers and then they become advocates for change. We all deserve equality and we just want to be accepted. <br /><br />Thank you Hanna for your illustrations, stories and those aha moments...for me it resonates so clearly the world I live in and hope to change for the generations that are coming after us.
