❤️ What’s your “why” for supporting the I/DD community? For some, it’s a loved one. For others, it’s the passion for advocating. Whatever it is, we want to hear your “why.” Reply and share! 💬

📢 A #StableCareSystem is critical for individuals with I/DD. For too long, nonprofit providers have been underfunded, and the care system has been strained. It’s time to prioritize the I/DD community and the providers who support them. #InvestInMe #InvestInUs
