Kabir Kadre Special Needs Trust

The care that makes the work possible.

A special needs trust sustaining Kabir Kadre‘s daily support — so a life shaped by severe disability can remain a life of contribution.

Why this trust exists

Twenty-four hours a day, every day, care is what keeps the work going.

Kabir Kadre has lived as a quadriplegic for more than two decades, requiring around-the-clock personal care. Public benefits carry part of that weight; they do not carry all of it.

This trust closes the gap. It underwrites the caregiving, housing, and medical support that let Kabir devote his energy to founding and leading Open Field Awakening, and its response to the deeper crises of our time.

Kabir amazes me by his faith and resilience in the face of daily living challenges that are beyond daunting. He inspires me with his indomitable spirit and commitment to healing our world. He is at once fragile in body and unbreakable in resolve. I am moved to support his efforts in hopes that he can sustain his mighty purpose.

A word from our trustee

What is a trustee? It is in the name; a person who holds in trust the well-being of another.

My nearly 30-year relationship with Kabir began before he was injured. His mind was always ahead of others; seeing a future that others could not.

Now, after 24 years navigating quadriplegia with innovative approaches to care and human suffering, Kabir is stewarding Open Field Awakening; initiatives that can provide new avenues for human flourishing.

It is essential that the funds provided to the trust are carefully managed for the intended purpose. I come to the role with 40 years of experience overseeing international non-profit organizations. I consider it an honor to serve as fiduciary in this community of care that provides much light to the world.

E. Sabatini — Trustee

I have provided financial assistance to my dear friend Kabir Kadre for some time because I have come to know him as a person of deep integrity, humility, and unwavering dedication to the Dharma. Although he lives with significant physical disabilities, his life is centered on bringing wisdom, kindness, and encouragement to others. Supporting his Special Needs Trust is one of the most meaningful charitable gifts I make because it helps someone whose deepest aspiration is to benefit others. I feel grateful for the opportunity to contribute in a small way to Kabir’s well-being and to the continuation of the Dharma through the example of his life and practice.

How giving works

Every gift to the trust goes to one thing: the round-the-clock care Kabir depends on — the caregiving hours, the housing, and the medical support that public benefits do not reach.

Gifts are made through the trust’s giving page — or arranged directly with the trustee, if you prefer a personal reply.

I’ve known Kabir for over a decade through our involvement in the Integral Theory community. We share a passion for human development and exploring the mysteries of existence, whether through various developmental models or the esoteric teachings of Sufism and Rumi. Kabir has been a guiding light during challenging times, helping me navigate the loss of my wife and overcome career obstacles.

He never ceases to amaze me with his unwavering faith and resilience amidst daunting challenges, accompanied by deep spiritual wisdom. His journey transcends merely overcoming physical limitations; it is a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit when aligned with a higher purpose. Despite his frail body, Kabir possesses a soul that shines with unyielding resolve and a profound connection to the divine.

His ability to rise above personal hardships fuels his commitment to healing our world with extraordinary grace and compassion. His physical limitations have become a gateway to profound insight and understanding, making him one of the wisest individuals I know. Kabir’s life is a continuous dialogue with the sacred, reflecting an unbreakable bond between spirit and action.

Supporting his efforts deeply moves me, as I am inspired by his mighty purpose and the light he shares with others. His journey encourages us to embrace our inner potential, reminding us that true strength is found in wisdom and love.
