Giving can be FREE!!!

By Amanda Dunn

As 2011 draws to a close, many of us will be hoping for a better 2012 – Kim Kardashian, Charlie Sheen and the Indianapolis Colts amongst others perhaps! 

It’s been another tough year for the economy too. And that means it’s been a tough year for ordinary people like you and I. Fewer jobs, lower pay, higher gas prices, more bills … 

Imagine what it’s like being a Veteran trying to transition back into the civilian workforce. Now imagine being an INJURED Veteran trying to transition back into the civilian workforce.

That’s why supporting QL+ is so important.

Our innovative solutions include a modification to enable those with limited mobility to operate big rigs, bulldozers and other heavy equipment – opening up new avenues of employment for wounded warriors. There’s a doorkeeper, to hold doors open for wheelchair users, allowing them improved access to workplace locations. There’s even a myoelectric computer mouse controller that allows arm amputees to operate a PC using muscles from their remaining limb; let’s face it, what kind of job doesn’t include operating a computer these days?

Of course, your financial donation to QL+ is vital. It helps to fund projects like these and other sat the QL+ Lab in San Luis Obispo, California. But there are other ways you can give to QL+ that won’t cost an arm and a leg:

• Follow us on Facebook, tweet with us on Twitter, or sign up to read this blog. Recommend us to those you know, spread the word and encourage others to support us. Word of mouth is free!
• The more grass roots support we have, the more voters we have when it comes to contests like AOL’s ‘Giving Good’ campaign and Pepsi Refresh. It doesn’t cost you anything to vote in these campaigns but it puts us in the running for much-needed financial support.
• Volunteer to help at one of our events. Yes, time is money, but then again, it is called ‘free time’!

So you see, even when times are tough, giving to QL+ can be easy. Check out our website for all the ways you can support QL+!
