  • Melina Funk

    Founder & President

    My journey into advocacy for the disability community began at a young age, helping my sister navigate a world that wasn’t built for her. Growing up alongside my sister shaped the passion that would drive my professional career. I earned my degree in Special Education from NNU and spent seven years teaching Extended Resources. During that time, I gave birth to my son, Emmett, who was born extremely premature. As a result, he has multiple disabilities, including Cerebral Palsy and Intellectual Disability.

    Through my experiences as a sister, friend, teacher, and parent, I have witnessed firsthand that one of the most persistent and overlooked injustices for those with disabilities is not the condition itself but society’s lack of understanding and compassion. This creates a world that is as inaccessible physically as it is emotionally, spiritually, and socially.

    At [brackets], my mission is to equip and empower individuals with disabilities, their families, and the community so that inclusion isn’t an afterthought but a fundamental standard that allows everyone to thrive.
