The Special Olympics provides healthcare for over 700,000 people with intellectual disabilities in North America alone.

Um. You don’t get out much, do you?

What exactly do you think the Special Olympics does?

It’s not a single event, it’s a global charity that works with millions of athletes in over 150 countries. They put on over 100,000 competitions each year. The average cost of the summer olympic games is $5.2 billion, you tell me who is using the money better. Also, it’s a non-profit so you are free to look up their

I’m a special education teacher. I have known literally hundreds of kids and adults with disabilities whose lives and livelihoods are special Olympics. To say I am infuriated by this is an understatement. But in no way am I surprised. People with disabilities don’t make people like Trump and DeVos money, so they are

The author is cray cray. There is more than one Tamale guy in Chicago.

He's basically a religion in Chicago

Always excellent to see that commenters have answered a question intelligently and thoroughly so I don’t have to. Thanks guys!

This is my testimony about the good work of a man who helped me..My name is CAROLINE WAYNE. and I am based in NEW YORK , USA. My life is back!!! After 8 years of marriage, my husband left me with our three children. I felt like my life was about to end,and was falling apart. Thanks to a spell caster called papa Justus
