why we started
Dad, here's what your memory made possible.
My dad, Stanley, passed away in a car accident when I was nine years old—an accident that also left me disabled.Much of my career has been shaped by my own lived experience with disability. My advocacy work and my book, The Anti-Ableist Manifesto, feel like part of the legacy I'm building.The Stanley Fund for Recovery feels different.This is my way of honoring my dad.While the fund has been shaped by the incredible people I've met in the recovery community, it is rooted in his memory.Through The Stanley Fund for Recovery, I've committed $100,000 in charitable support to organizations creating places where people and families can heal, reconnect, and belong.The bicycle in our logo is a tribute to his love of cycling.Recovery, like riding a bike, requires balance, forward motion, and the courage to keep going.— Tiffany Yu, Founder
