Hidden Disabilities Sunflower

Just heard about this today. A small article in this months Travel & Leisure. A free subscription from Fetch Rewards (an app you earn points in for scanning receipts. I love it) I normally just scan the magazine then donate them to the hospital.

Anyway….(distracting myself & getting off subject) Program started in England. At Heathrow you stop at any help desk and get a lanyard with sunflowers on it. This alerts all personnel that the wearer has hidden disabilities. Could be copd, Autism, dementia or MS.

So instead of cleaning, cooking or anything else productive I’m trying to post this with a link. 🤞🏻

Hiddendisabilitiesstore.com if the link doesn’t work. I don’t think it’s everywhere yet but I like the idea. They’re even trying to get other businesses involved ie:hotels, stores, etc. Maybe even cruise lines.

I saw something about this a couple months ago, and I love it! I wish more places would do this.

I’ve received at least 2 & maybe 3 free magazine subscriptions & several gift cards from it. Just for scanning receipts.

Sign up w/ code X3MKG & get points: referral.fetch.com/vvv3/ref...

Not sure if this is allowed, but it’s a great way to earn $$. I’ve almost got enough points for a $50. Card.

Side note: I’m writing this from an infusion center. I’m getting my first full dose of Ocrevus right now. It was due November 30th of 22. My insurance ended on the 17th. So had to wait on new insurance & all the PA’s. I’m really hopeful this helps. I just told the nurse here about the sunflower project. Cog fog is real.

Really. I didn’t know you could order one!!! I just thought they were at airports & other participating facilities. This is wonderful. I’ve got to look into this.
