Advocacy Network on Disabilities

When disability changes a family’s life, no one should have to face the journey alone. Advocacy Network on Disabilities provides the trusted guidance, support, and advocacy that empowers children, adults, and families to overcome barriers and thrive.

A future where every family raising a loved one with a disability feels supported, connected, and empowered to thrive.

The Advocacy Network on Disabilities champions the rights of individuals with intellectual, developmental, and other disabilities by promoting inclusion, providing services, and advancing systems change.

At the Advocacy Network on Disabilities, Miami's support has been nothing short of miraculous, supporting families who had nowhere to turn. Yet, even as we celebrate each success, we are reminded daily of an ongoing challenge that awaits a solution—the significant upfront costs of housing.

It's about the families we meet who, despite having steady incomes, find the lump sum for first and last month’s rent, plus security deposit, an Everest too steep to climb. These are the unseen barriers that keep parents and children in their cars and low-cost hotels when a home is just within reach.

Donations given during Give Miami Day, are transformative. They're not just funds; they’re keys to new beginnings, immediate answers to long-held prayers for a place to call home.

Your open-handed giving is a direct strike against the cycle of homelessness, a bold statement that says, “Everyone deserves a home.”As you sift through requests this Give Miami Day, we hope you’ll remember the families who will sit around their own dinner table, perhaps for the first time in years, because of you.

Your consideration means the world to us and to the families waiting for their forever home. Together, we can weave a tapestry of support that wraps every Miami family in warmth and dignity.
