Frum Teens: Write Your Story About Disability

Frum Preteens, Teens and Young Adults:

Do you have a disability or challenge?

Does someone in your life have one?

Have you volunteered with people in this situation?

Write up your story – it may be chosen for inclusion in a book!

The idea is to increase awareness of disability and challenge in the frum world, and lead people towards a more positive attitude.

Questions to consider when writing your story:

How was the disability or challenge discovered, or how did you get involved?

How did you react then, and how do you react now?

What has changed in the way you relate to the disability or challenge?

How do others relate to the disability or challenge?

What message do you have for others in the frum world?
