Living Hope is a community based non-profit organization formed by people with spinal cord injuries as well as with other disabilities working together to improve our quality of life and promote our rights. Our group was founded by people with spinal cord injuries. The majority of our members are not entitled to benefits, lack medical insurance, and do not have a stable source of income. We provide services to our members and engage in community advocacy to achieve our goals.Our Mission is to affirm the dignity and improve the quality of life of immigrants and refugees with disabilities and their families; particularly of those in a wheelchair due to a spinal cord injury or disease. We work in the intersection of disability rights, healthcare justice and immigrant and worker rights providing medical supplies and equipment as well as spaces for leadership development and a community where everyone can feel included, respected and loved.
