We DON'T want anyone to Drop-Out of school/college, the workforce, or life!

All members of the DAN agree to follow the Golden Rule by treating others as they wish to be treated! 

 At our DAN meetings, we use the term "Differently-Abled" to continuously encourage ourselves and others to change our "PERCEPTION" of DISABLED and focus on what we are able to do to succeed in higher education and the workforce and be recognized as contributing and productive citizens. It is not our intention to ignore our disability or change the terminology necessary for health care and benefits. Please feel free to ask a DAN Member about sharing your story to inspire and inform others, and sharing what you need to succeed at school and work!  Your donation of any amount every month will cover our expenses to hold our Differently-Abled Network (DAN) meetings at college campuses, workforce events/job fairs, etc

"Changing the perception of disabled to differently-abled for success in classrooms & workplaces"

 At DAN meetings, We Help undeserved persons connect to Community and Faith-Based Veteran Organizations, and other nonprofits to provide services.  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).

The DIFferently-Abled Network (DAN) is changing PERCEPTIONS

At DIFferently-Abled Network (DAN) meetings, Community-Business Partners listen to underserved Adults  ( emphasis on Veterans who are   students and/or employees)  striving to manage life with a visible/HIDDEN disability (i.e. Mental health, learning, chronic stress, pain, fatigue, diabetes, heart, cancer, etc.)    

                                                                     

 We exist because on average Thirty (30+) Veterans & higher education students lose HOPE and die by suicide daily!   

Your dollars  are used to restore HOPE in crises (transportation, childcare, etc.)
