Standing Up for the Disability Community

Dear Family, Friends, and Supporters:

 

Hi! I am Ms. Wheelchair America 2026 and I am the first National titleholder from NY. Ms. Wheelchair America is an organization that highlights empowering women in wheelchairs who are advocating for the ably different community. 

As Ms. Wheelchair America 2026, I’m honored to use my platform to be a voice for the more than 64 million Americans living with a disability. Advocacy is my passion, and I believe that real change happens when we are seen, heard, and included. This year, I’ll be traveling across the country to meet with lawmakers, organizations, and people of all abilities to raise awareness and push for greater inclusivity. To make this mission possible, I’m asking for your support. Donations will go directly toward travel costs—lodging, meals, and a care companion—so that I can focus on amplifying voices and breaking barriers. When you give to this fundraiser, you’re not just helping me—you’re investing in a future where all people, regardless of ability, are valued and respected. Your support ensures that I can bring both my professional expertise and lived experience to the table, not only for myself, but for my “wheel sisters” &?brothers across the nation who deserve to have their voices uplifted. Every dollar makes a difference. With your help, I know we can do so much for our community. Thank you for standing with me on this journey. Together, we can create lasting change.

 With gratitude, Ms. Wheelchair America 2026
