What does it truly mean to support those who face discrimination because of disabilities or serious illness? This powerful episode dives deep into the reality of how society often treats its most vulnerable members.
Justin Alan Hayes, founder of Voices for Voices, delivers a heartfelt exploration of the exploitation and discrimination faced by people with disabilities, challenges, and serious illnesses like cancer. Drawing from personal experiences with family members battling advanced cancer, he examines the painful reality that some individuals and organizations actually target vulnerable people rather than supporting them. The parallels between disaster exploitation and taking advantage of those with disabilities reveal a disturbing pattern in human behavior that demands our attention and action.
