Help Us Build Love Without Barriers
Support our GoFundMe campaign to create the first truly accessible dating platform for people with disabilities
Imagine this:
You download a dating app. You're excited, hopeful. But your screen reader doesn't work. Buttons aren't labeled. Navigation is impossible. You give up.
Or worse — you actually match with someone. Things are going great. Then you mention your disability. They ghost you. Again.
This happens every single day to 1.3 billion people with disabilities worldwide.
Why We're Building Open Hearts Dating
We're not building another dating app. We're creating the first truly accessible dating platform where:
- ✅ Every feature is tested by real users with disabilities
- ✅ Screen readers actually work — because we build WITH people, not just FOR them
- ✅ Safety comes first — verification, moderation, protection
- ✅ It's nonprofit — we don't profit from loneliness
More Than Dating
Open Hearts isn't just a dating app. It's a complete support ecosystem:
Where people share experiences and support each other
Accessible employment for people with disabilities
Where everyone can find love without barriers

Why This Matters to Me
For over 25 years, I've led charitable projects and worked alongside people who face barriers every day. I've seen firsthand how isolation affects people with disabilities — not just physically, but emotionally. They don't just need ramps and screen readers. They need connection. They need love. That's why I'm building this.
