True accessibility means being able to go into a restaurant, hop on a bus, or book a last-minute weekend getaway without having to make special arrangements. It means having the same spontaneous freedom that non-disabled people take for granted. Too often, what’s labeled as accessibility actually requires advance notice, paperwork, or permission.

When I have to call a restaurant three days ahead to confirm they’ll have a staff member available to put down a portable ramp, that’s not accessibility. When I need to fill out an online accommodation form with a doctor’s note just to use an elevator at an amusement park, that’s not accessibility. When I must book an accessible hotel room six months in advance because there are only a few of them, that’s not accessibility.

Real accessibility is built in from the start. It’s automatic doors that work for everyone. It’s part of the design, not an add-on. Disabled people deserve to be able to show up, unannounced, and trust that the world will welcome us as we are.

It is time to dismantle the idea that accessibility is a “nice extra” for some people, rather than a fundamental requirement for an equal society. When venues and businesses make access contingent on advance notice, they’re saying disabled people are an inconvenience to be managed, not full members of the community.

Freedom of movement should not be a privilege you have to request.

🎂 NOVEMBER APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN! 🎂

If you applied for November before, please reapply.
Please only apply for birthdays between now and November 30th (Vincennes: please only apply for a November birthday).

‼️Any December or later dates will NOT be saved in our system. This will be the new routine every month so as to not overwhelm our system so that no application is ever lost to the void.

The sooner you apply, the better our chances of making sure every child gets a birthday this month! We’re still on our hot streak - every month we get more and more kids, and every month we cover them. 🙌

Eligibility reminders:
• Must live in City of Terre Haute, Sullivan County, City of Linton, or the City of Vincennes.
• This program is for families experiencing hard times of any sort.
• Proof of birth date will be required before delivery

📄We want our process as inclusive and smooth as possible, but we also want to protect the funds that were graciously donated to our corporation.

📋 Apply here: https://eatyourcaketoo.org/
🎁 Donate to help cover birthdays: https://eatyourcaketoo.org/

Please share, share, share so anyone who needs us can find us! Nothing makes us sadder than imagining a child having their birthday pass by them silently. 🫶
