Shawnett Viani - To Be Like Me Fundraiser Page

Please help me raise money for To Be Like Me so we can educate the community about disabilities, break down barriers, and foster empathy, compassion, and inclusion!!  To Be Like Me is a non-profit disability awareness program which is led by people living with disabilities, whom we call LEADers (Leaders in Education and Advocacy for Disabilities). To Be Like Me's mission is to break down barriers that exist for those with disabilities and shed light on the positive impact of inclusion, ignite compassion, and foster awareness of unique abilities. 

Through meaningful interactions with our LEADers who we employ, we create a learning opportunity that fosters empathy and compassion and equips our communities to be more inclusive. 

To Be Like Me offers both in-person and online programming.  In the last year, we reached more than 7,000 4th and 5th grade students in North Texas. We also opened our onsite, permanent program at Greenwood Hills Learning Center in Richardson.

Our goal this year is to develop programming for older middle and high school students, as well as reach service-based businesses so they can better serve clients, collaborate effectively, and create welcoming, accessible environments for all.

Your donation supports our expansion efforts in North Texas and beyond. Please join us in this important work!

With Gratitude and love,

Shawnett Viani
