We make great Shh!t Happen
Switching to SHH!T Happens breaks the cycle of poverty for people with disability, one roll at a time. People ask us: why toilet paper? Simply, it can get through doors that are still inaccessible to people with disability, and once in the door begin creating positive change. We are here to Accelerate Opportunity for the disability community, and contribute positively to social and economic inclusion.
How?
Our impact model is multifold, because we are here to make the world a better place, particularly for people with disability and chronic illness.
From the bottom, up.
Every Sale Sends Support
For every pallet of toilet paper sold, we donate 24 rolls of toilet paper to people with disability in financial hardship. We distribute product through direct requests and our charity partners, including Share the Dignity and Illawarra Helping Hands Inc. If you want to request a donation, contact us here.
