We are filled with so much gratitude this morning! Last week, we set out with a goal of raising $7,000 for GiveNOLA Day — and thanks to your overwhelming generosity, we surpassed that goal and reached $11,000 by midnight! Every dollar raised goes toward expanding access to critical opportunities, ensuring safety, and supporting independence for the disability community. We are deeply grateful for our supporters — especially our clients, who bravely and proudly shared their stories to spread awareness and help open doors for others. From all of us at Disability Rights Louisiana, thank you for standing with us. Together, we are making a difference. (fb)
