Do More Mondays - #17 - "MIRA Foundation"

Hiya!  Once again it's time to make the world a little better!  But this week my contribution feels dwarfed by the signficance an animal can give to a human being in need of help; it is truly incredible and inspiring with what they are capable of.

This week I'm making a donation to 'MIRA Foundation' ~ they help disabled individuals lead their lives independently as functioning members of society by providing dogs bred and trained to respond to their adaptation and rehabilitation needs.  These services are available free of charge to individuals with one or many visual or motor disabilities, and to children presenting Pervasive Development Disorders such as autism.  They believe that anything that is accessible to the public at large should be accessible to handicapped individuals.  Each individual must make his or her place in the world, be at home, at school, or in the workplace, on a normal basis.  To do this, MIRA helps identify physical obstacles and social resistance in the lives of their clients ~ such as eliminate certain fears in schools, to bring people to accept dogs as tools in children’s development, and to fight against unjustified, often misplaced, apprehensions in having seeing-eye dogs in public places or transit.

I challenge anyone to do more.
