Application Details

Special Needs: Autistic Child | Cost to fully fund this application: 355.00 Modest Needs Points

I have three girls and one of them has autism, development delay, language disorder, and ADH&D. I would like for you to consider helping us purchase a weighted jacket and blanket.

My daughter has a tendency to seek for movement, so she stays very hyper. If she can use weighted vest and blanket, that would help her to learn to sit still during reading time, meal time, and help her get a full night of sleep (and us too!).

During her father's church services, she gets up and down a lot, which is very distractive to others. Not only that she makes lots of noises too, so these weights should help her. Thank you for considering my family and helping my daughter develop as she learns to adapt to her special needs.

Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

Thank you so much for the generous hearts who have shown so much love! Many times, I felt that nobody cares about my autistic child. My child is about to be kicked out from private school due to uncontrolable meltdowns but public school is denying her access, about to get fired at work to request for so many days off for doctor's appointments,IEP meetings at school, and etc. But, people who do not even know us helping her is such a fresh shock. Thank you so much for helping my daughter with her sensory issues due to autism disorder.
