“This is something Indian Affairs has not done for our people. They have no programs for adults with disabilities, they have nothing set aside for them. Everybody in crisis was put away. There was no place for them, no services within their community. Parents wonder what is going to happen to my child.”

You can join us to help build a brighter future for Mi'kmaq people with disabilities. We invite you to be part of this exciting project by making a donation. All donations will directly benefit Mi’kmaq persons with disabilities.
Help us create more opportunities for Mi'kmaq people living with disabilities.
