This gathering is particularly for those who may feel isolated due to being housebound, bed-bound, or facing the challenges of chronic illness. Here, we aim to foster community, solidarity, and safety among one another. Together, we can share experiences, support each other, and nurture hope for a brighter tomorrow, especially for chronically ill, disabled, BIPOC, and neurodiverse individuals.

Come as you are, and let’s create a space where everyone feels valued and heard. We look forward to seeing you there!
