Urgent! Your immediate attention needed.
We Cannot Let Dr. APPLEwhite
QUIT the Mission
A Fundraising and awareness campaign Produced & Promoted by Members of the DIFferently-Abled Network
After 40+ years of serving as an Educator and Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Counselor she still helping underserved, nontraditional students and employees with Visible and HIDDEN Disability succeed in the classroom and workplace and she won’t stop. After a near-fatal car accident in 2005 left her unable to walk and managing chronic pain in palliative care, and beating cancer, she managed to find the strength to continue helping those who were at risk of Drop-Out/Burn-Out from the classroom, workplace, and life! Underserved students and employees, especially Veterans in this group, get stuck in emotional and financial crises lacking support, coping skills and $$ for the “little things” they cannot access in under-resourced communities. Dr. Applewhite felt the need to give up her retirement because the increase in Hopelessness and suicide rates for students and her fellow Veterans was too shocking! She started The DIFferently Abled Network© meetings where at-risk students and employees tell their story and ASK for what they need to succeed. They usually ask for “little things” that are critical and needed immediately when you are in your last semester, rushing to job interviews, on the way to a critical test that won’t be offered until next year, no money to fix broken glasses, or just got hired but no money for a permit and pair of boots, etc. You can help with some of these little things that when caught early can change the course of what Dr. Applewhite calls the downward spiral. Simple, everyday things most of us holler about before we take out our credit card or cash to resolve the problem. However, an underserved person has no financial means for fixing flat tires, transportation changes, broken eyeglasses, tape recorders, lost/stolen books and laptops, medicine co-pays, childcare, permits, licenses, work uniforms, utility assistance and so much more. Most community/faith-based organizations cannot provide services to full or part-time working students or employees that may be a few dollars over the income guidelines. Join me by becoming an APPLE SEED Sponsor and make a generous tax-deductible contribution or just setting up a $5 recurring monthly payment for 2022 so Dr. APPLEwhite will stay on the mission without stressing for funds. For a change my friends and family are going to put our change $$₵₵ on those who are striving to help themselves succeed in theses Pandemic Times.

"Changing the perception of disabled to differently-abled for success in classrooms & workplaces"
At DAN meetings, We Help nonprofits connect to Community, Faith-Based Veteran Organizations to provide services to those underserved. We define "underserved" as those who lack eligibility for services, knowledge of resources and access due to a variety of reasons (poverty, disability, education, limited work experiences, psychological, cultural, geographic location, transportation, health care, social work, gender and racial discrimination, and more).
