I have a brilliant former student, Alex, who is disabled and also a disability activist/advocate. He has Ehler-Danlos Syndrome, which means getting the "but you don't LOOK disabled" comments on good days, and needing to use a wheelchair on bad ones.

I'll let him speak for himself:
This is a shirt campaign that I was asked to do by other disability activists to help spread awareness of and support of invisible disabilities. The profit is helping Lev and I offset some of the costs of moving into our accessible apartment. So please, get yourself a shirt, tell others about the shirts, and spread the word. Invisible doesn't mean imaginary. Invisible disabilities exist


Here's the link: https://www.bonfire.com/invisible-disabilities-exist/

And here's the shirt!





I've ordered one for myself--it should come around the end of April, and I look forward to wearing it!

That's fantastic! I'll have to check the month-end budget to see if I can spare a little extra! <3
