NORTH TEXAS GIVING DAY 2026
HELP EVERY STORY SHINE
This North Texas Giving Day, help To Be Like Me bring disability awareness education to more students, educators, and community members while amplifying the voices and lived experiences of people with disabilities.
Every story has the power to change a perspective
At To Be Like Me, people living with disabilities lead the conversation.
Our LEADers—Leaders in Education and Advocacy for Disabilities—share their lived experiences with students and adults, creating meaningful opportunities to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and better understand the experiences of others.
These conversations build empathy and compassion while helping create schools, workplaces, and communities where differences are understood, respected, and valued.
And we’re ready to reach even more people.
Over the next three years, our goal is to double the number of students we serve—and we need your help to get there.
Double the Shine.
Double Your Impact.
Thanks to a generous matching donor, your North Texas Giving Day gift can go twice as far.
Your support helps To Be Like Me employ and empower LEADers, bring disability awareness education to more students, educators, and community members, and expand the reach of programs that are changing perspectives—one story, one conversation, and one person at a time.
Give today and help your gift go twice as far.
Listen. Learn. Understand.
The mission of To Be Like Me is to encourage empathy, kindness, and compassion through disability awareness programs led by people living with disabilities.
Culture of Diversity
Building a diverse team at To Be Like Me is a top priority because we know that representation matters. Disability exists across every culture, race, gender, and class. We want to ensure that our message resonates with every person who experiences our program.
To Be Like Me strives to create a culture of diversity in a number of different ways:
1. We intentionally seek connections with diverse communities and organizations throughout Dallas.
2. We intentionally recruit new team members to better represent the diversity of our city.
3. We listen and learn about the realities for people with disabilities with a variety of cultures and backgrounds.
