Happy Disability Pride Month July 2025! At WeShine we recognize that folks with disabilities are often the last considered when we think about inclusion and accessibility. This is why one of our villages, St. Andrew’s Village, was designated for folks 45+ and older AND folks of any age with a physical disability. As always we prioritize those who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ and/or identify as Black, Indigenous or Persons of Color! You can see why Disability Pride Month is important!
