Thank you.

As we begin a new year - one that will surely see new challenges, new opportunities, and new victories - we must take a moment to pause, reflect, and appreciate. Throughout 2025, your support and investment in our work made real, tangible differences in the lives of people with disabilities in our state.

Late last year, our call for your support came at an especially challenging time. When our year-end fundraising efforts began, we were also facing funding uncertainty which triggered operational changes within our organization. With each "like" and "share" of a Facebook or Instagram post and every letter sent to legislators in support of us, you kept us going.

In a little less than 3 months, you and supporters like you invested over $24,000 into our vision. This funding will help us grow our work and expand our reach, no matter what the new year brings. From all of us at DRO, thank you for believing in and investing in what we do.

It's never too late to make your investment into our work. You can do so any time at https://www.disabilityrightsohio.org/donate.
