About 3 years ago AutismCares helped our family out when I was laid off from Dreamworks Animation. I know personally that they do good work. There are still thousands of families affected by Sandy still without power or heat, including autism families. Lately we’ve seen news footage of politicians slapping each other on the back and taking victory laps while people are afraid to leave their homes to get assistance because of looting. It’s up to us to help.
Please go to their website at http://www.autismcares.org/ and make a donation. It’s up to us.
Don’t let them forget it’s Christmas time.
If you know of a family of a child with autism give them the information below.
