On this page on the left hand side there will be a list of all the different types of disabilities you can choose from and then pick the logo you want on the item you purchase. Remember all the funds raised will be donated to their respective organizations.

Here is an article I came across a few years ago:

Throughout history,
people with physical and mental disabilities
have been abandoned at birth
banished from society,
used as court jesters,
drowned and burned during the Inquisition
gassed in Nazi Germany,
and still continue to be segregated,institutionalized,
tortured in the name of behavior management,
abused, raped, euthanized, and murdered.
Now, for the first time, people with disabilities are taking their rightful
place as fully contributing citizens. The danger is that we will respond with
remediation rather than equality and respect. And so, we offer you

A CREDO FOR SUPPORT

Do Not see my disability as the problem.
Recognize that my disability is an attribute.

Do Not see my disability as a deficit.
It is you who see me as a deviant and helpless.

Do Not try to fix me because I am not broken.
Support me. I can make my contribution to the community in my way.

Do Not see me as your client. I am your fellow citizen.
See me as your neighbor. Remember, none of us can be self-sufficient.

Do Not try to modify my behavior.
Be still & listen. What you define as inappropriate
may be my attempt to communicate with you in the only way I can.

Do Not try to change me. You have no right.
Help me learn what I want to know.

Do Not hide your uncertainty behind "professional" distance.
Be a person who listens, and does not take my
struggle away by trying to make it better.

Do Not use theories and strategies on me.
Be with me. And when we struggle
with each other, let that give rise to self-reflection.

Do Not try to control me. I have my right to my power as a person.
What you call noncompliance or manipulation may
actually be the only way I can exert some contol over my life.

Do Not try to teach me to be obedient, submissive
I need to feel entitled to say No if I am going to protect myself.

Do Not be charitable towards me.
The last thing the world needs is another Jerry Lewis.
Be my ally against those who exploit me for their own gratification.

Do Not try to be my friend. I deserve more than that.
Get to know me. We may become friends.

Do Not help me even if it does make you feel good.
Ask me if I need your help. Let me show you how you can best assist me.

Do Not admire me. A desire to live a full life does not warrant adoration.
Respect me. For respect presumes equality.

Do Not tell, correct, and lead.
Listen, Support, and Follow.

Do Not work on me.
Work with me.
