The Invisible Warrior Club

from Silent Strength with Invisible Warriors · host Nancy Becher

One of every two adult Americans lives with at least one chronic illness (often called invisible illnesses). The disability community is the largest minority in the world. Yet, instead of feeling inclusive and wrapped in camaraderie, too many of us feel alone, less valued, and less worthy.  What We Want to Achieve:  a better-informed medical community that understands and respects us a travel industry that is educated on how best to serve the needs of this group of people a support network of family, friends, and colleagues  affordable access to medications, procedures, and equipment regardless of insurance status  What We Do:  advocate for better treatment from the medical and travel industries  provide a private online community for our Warriors to come together to support each other  train the travel and hospitality industry on best practices for accessibility research and inform government agencies on better practices  How You Can Help:  help spread the word about Invisible Warriors and the support IW offers get informed on how to support those around you with chronic illnesses and disabilities provide financial support  What Donations are Used For:  supporting women who are struggling with chronic illness or autoimmune conditions, especially those running/creating their own businesses  provide information and improved access to specialists in many fields (financial, medical, travel, moral)  help bring them out of the shadows of illness and into the light  maintain the virtual platforms to reach the largest number of women (over 15,000 were reached by these programs in 2022)  developing publication of support manuals  additional research, training, and public awareness.  No donations will be used for political or personal gain.
