Who We Are

We are a nonprofit founded in 2014 by four local parents of disabled children in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. Over the years, we have grown together into a community of parents of disabled children, disabled adults, and advocates. 

Our Mission

We connect families in Champaign-Urbana with disability resources, host inclusive community events/resource giveaways, and build online networks where every person feels valued, heard, and supported.

Period Equity Initiative:
Free Supplies for Disabled Folks

Providing period essentials to local disabled families without bias. Empowering our community through access, compassion, and dignity regardless of financial constraints. 

Free Resource Giveaways for Disabled Families

We provide essential gear, food, and supplies to local disabled families. Thanks to partners like Amazon and FedEx, we host giveaways as stock permits—often featuring items like adult diapers and household goods.
