My Nonprofit Reviews

Millions of people living with invisible disabilities are told, "but you don't LOOK like you have an illness or disability!" We are told we are exaggerating, not trying hard enough, malingering, lazy or even faking it!

We don't want to live our lives missing out on things we LOVE doing! We are fighting every day to get our lives back or at least build a new one. It's hard enough to lose so much, let alone be treated by those we love and even strangers like we are weak liars.

The Invisible Disabilities Association (IDA) brings awareness and education to the world about people living with invisible disabilities. Friends, family, coworkers, businesses and medical teams are learning to look beyond the outside and see the incredible perseverance and fortitude in people living with invisible disabilities! And they are learning to listen and believe, as well as be respectful and be helpful when and if needed.

Because of IDA, millions who have been disregarded and even disowned are finding the support they need and deserve! Friends and families are being reunited and for those who are able to work, many are finding the accommodations they need to continue their jobs!
