Thanksgiving is coming up, and we’ve got so much to be grateful for. So we’re officially declaring today as Invisible Children Supporter Appreciation Day, because you’re all pretty awesome (and because we can).

5 ways to thrive (and survive) in community living …and beyond
It was pretty warm out that afternoon, but that’s not why my palms were sweating.
