GIVING TUESDAY 2018: 365 #UNSTOPPABLETM STORIES

This Giving Tuesday (Nov 27, 2018), help us collect 365 #UNSTOPPABLETM stories which prove that persons living with disabilities can do anything they set their minds to. Together, we can dispel negative stereotypes or misconceptions and show the world that people living with disabilities can be #unstoppABLE!

Starting Dec 3, 2018 – the International Day of Persons with Disabilities – we will begin sharing the best stories we receive: one story a day for the next 365 days to highlight that accessibility issues are an everyday concern and affects everyone.

Facing challenges in life is envitable; backing down is optional. With a lot of perseverance and some help from Easter Seals, kids like Zak, Brandon and Victoria, have become #unstoppABLE.
