Perhaps some might prefer not to donate to the MDA, which tend to promote 
rather unflattering ideas about disabled people:

A donation to the local Center for Independent Living is a possible 
alternative.  On the other hand, the MDA may be unenlightened, but they 
still provide some degree of assistance.
