Helpful links
With these links I have tried to balance lifestyle,rights&donations. I have decided that at a later time I'm going to be including spiritual links as well so that folk can peruse those things which may interest them as many folk who are disabled have difficulty finding their way into social situations. Hopefully this will not be seen as inappropriate. The first of the sites which I have included is sacred texts as it has lore which is free for the individual who may have difficulty affording such on a limited income I hope you will enjoy perusing the site.
