Join us on zoom for our . . . “From My Heart to Yours” Story Sharing Evening Monday, May 1, 2023 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm The stories we tell of our experiences both good and bad are what creates change in the world. “Are you eager to share your experiences with individualized funding (for example Passports) and get support from someone to write it down?” The Individualized Funding Coalition for Ontario has created an online “Story Space” to gather stories from self-advocates and families about your struggles and your successes with individualized funding. This event is aimed at self-advocates and families who would like assistance getting their story written down. Kory Earle and Judith McGill will be facilitating this event with the assistance of others. You will be paired up and working that night with a volunteer that will listen closely to you and assist you to get your story down in writing. If you would like, your story can be added to the “Story Collection” that will be published so others can read it. Your story can be part of changing people’s hearts and minds. You can decide if you will add your name or not, once your story is written.
