We found inspiration in the overlooked resilience of the dandelion. Often dismissed as a weed, a dandelion thrives in challenging conditions, embodying strength and determination. Despite facing adversities and challenging environments, people with disabilities smile and spread joy. Our purpose also reflected in our logo is this spirit as a symbol of hope and transformation for people with disabilities.
