Disability

https://images.app.goo.gl/GgGZFW3PpExdrykY9 December 3 is the International Day of Disability. The theme this year is “Leadership and participation of persons with disabilities toward an inclusive, accessible and sustainable post-COVID-19 world.” That is certainly what we want -- and more! -- for our family members with any type of disability. Today is a good day to also acknowledge family members who work (or have worked) with people with disabilities.
