Disability Awareness and Acceptance

Disability Awareness and Acceptance The goal of this page is to inform the public about disabilities and to teach others to accept people who have disabilities and treat them equally.

My name is Rachel Elizabeth Boisvere. I am 17 years old. I am a member of Best Buddies, an intern in a Special Education classroom, and a peer mentor. I plan to become a Special Education teacher. I am a private personal care assistant for a child with cerebral palsy and in the past have worked one-on-one with a preschooler who had Autism at my church. My senior project for school is about Awareness and Acceptance of people with disabilities. The goal of this project is to inform the public about my cause and improve the treatment of people with disabilities. I will be making a video as well that includes facts, as well as students from my school. My dream is for people with disabilities to be treated just like everyone else. I believe that a disability does not define a person, and it is only a part of them. Contact Information: disabilityawarenessacceptance@gmail.com

Unfortunately, t-shirt sales have not gone as expected. Very few people have been interested in buying shirts, and even less have actually gone through with ordering a shirt and paying for it. Unless I can sell some more shirts, I will not be able to get the price of $15 per shirt and will have to cancel the orders. I have reached out to the principals of all Chicopee Public Schools, hung up flyers throughout my school, advertised via social media, and on my school's weekly TV show. For some reason, t-shirt sales are not blossoming as I expected. If anyone knows of a way to help sell more shirts and support such a great cause, please let me know. I can send a link of the flyer to you if anybody would like to sell them at their work or anything like that. Please keep sharing this and hopefully more people will be interested in buying shirts. Due to this I have pushed back the deadline to Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Remember, the sales of these shirts support Best Buddies as well. Thank you!

In honor of Disability Awareness Month and Down Syndrome Awareness Month (March) and Autism Awareness Month (April), as well as my senior project, I will be selling these shirts. The cost is $15, and all profits will be going to Best Buddies of Massachusetts. If you would like to order a shirt, please let me know. I will need your name, size, e-mail, phone number, and school (if applicable). I am taking cash only. Shirts come in sizes (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, and 5XL). I will be sending information to some of Chicopee Public Schools. Contact me at disabilityawarenessacceptance@gmail.com with any questions. Your support is very much appreciated.
