Cost of Living

If it isn’t already apparent, the cost of living for people living with a chronic illness or disability is expensive. We spend more on medication, doctor/therapy/rehabilitation appointments, mobility aids, transportation, delivery services, specialized adaptive items, customizing spaces and clothing, etc, more than the average non-disabled person. All this money is spent just to survive and meet the bare minimum of living. Social assistance is hardly anything to live off of, and employers are still afraid to hire disabled people, often leaving our vulnerable community to fend for themselves.

This is your reminder to support disabled creators, disabled business owners and write to your local politicians to fight for our rights.
