It Isn't Right - Fund Our Friends
Every song should tell a story. This one does. A story about people. And politics. And of hope for people to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Who We Are:
This website, FundOurFriends.com, has been developed by Illinois citizens who have come together to support persons with disabilities. Our group includes persons with disabilities and their families, Human Services providers, direct support staff, next door neighbors, and business colleagues as well as people from all walks of life.
There are no officers, no annual dues, no hidden agendas. There is no intent to create a state wide organization or association.
Just a commitment to work on behalf of persons with disabilities and to increase the awareness of the general community with respect to the vital work being done by Human Service Providers.
In that regard we are dedicated to fairness of funding and stand against the practice of using people with disabilities as pawns in the Illinois Budgetary Process.
Please consider this website as a resource website for your efforts to support people with disabilities.
