Help Innersight Aid the Disabled

Located in Islip, New York, Innersight is a nonprofit organization committed to providing advocacy for the disabled, both locally and globally. We are owned and operated by a group of motivated disabled individuals, and have been making changes in the community and supporting disabled individuals for more than 25 years. Innersight was founded on the belief that the disabled deserve to enjoy all that the world has to offer, from simple everyday activities, such as visiting a coffee shop, to physically demanding sports. Innersight’s ultimate hope and goal is to make everything and everywhere accessible to those who are disabled, no matter what the disability. One of our goals is to help fund urgently needed medical and health services for people with disabilities who are in need of financial support.
