Making some changes in my life, moving towards running my own business again. But this time not for profit. For community.
My end goal is big and important: a residential care facility that supports the entire family for developmental disability services - picture assisted living, but for children's services, so no one has to be separated, not even siblings or foster parents.
Getting there is the journey. Do I go back to college to meet the licensing requirements first? Do I network with other non-profits and risk my goal being co-opted (or white-savior washed?)? Do I start Kickstarter funds? Or do I start my own non-profit site and work my way up with resources like a "100 days of autism" guide, neurodiversity style? Or do I start with practical services and open a drop-in inclusive child care center (there are none within 200 miles of me)?
I've been waiting a year and haven't started. I need to move forward somehow.
