With the Invisible Disabilities Association

Sep 10, 2022

Be Positive! Take a break from the usual and Join A Host of IDA Speakers and Ambassadors that say it is ... Time to Believe!

Do you know someone with Long COVID, post-vaccine injury, Lyme, Dysautonomia/POTS, or any illness that is not visible with a cane or a wheelchair? And do you need a day of inspiration?

Among other commitments I have to patient care and advocacy, I am Vice Chair of the nonprofit, Invisible Disabilities Association (IDA). Our Annual Awards Gala is upcoming in October! Our Gala is our annual fundraiser that will allow IDA to continue to provide great programming in 2022 and beyond. We help those with Invisible Disabilities gain momentum for quality of life through such things as:

Applying for SSI through Allsup: They Help You!
The Invisible Disabilities ID Card and Lanyard: Identifies You may need help.
An Official State Driver's License National Disability ID Card (already in 3 states): Validates your disability.
