In searching for an instance to join, I noticed that many do not mention ableism in their ToC. I care about avoiding ableist language, so I picked one that did mention it.

Hi there 
I'm working on a photography project about segregated total institutions for disabled people in Germany.
I'm talking to people who live at these places or did in the past. I need film, lab and scanning costs + whatever my interview partners and models need.
I'm doing this from a disabled perspective. I know these places very well since childhood, but I was lucky enough to not have been forced into living in one of them until now (let's hope it stays that way).
I'm doing mostly analogue photography and I can not afford the cost of it myself. I also want to make sure the people I work with have everything they need. Like transport, accessibility things and if I do find people willing to be in the photographs themselves, I want to pay them.
Can you help me out?
