Story

2 Children 2 Adults

We are working with a mother and 11 year-old son, who is on the autism spectrum, relies on specialized communication tools to express his needs and feelings. During the school year, he had access to a tablet through his educational program—an essential device that allowed him to engage, connect, and navigate the world with greater independence.

But now that summer has arrived, the tablet has been returned to the school, leaving a significant gap in his ability to communicate. Imagine having so much to say, and no reliable way to express it.

This family is in urgent need of support. They’re hoping to secure a dedicated communication tablet for him to use at home year-round. This isn’t just about equipment—it’s about dignity, connection, and giving a child the chance to thrive. If you’re able to support this request in any way—through donations, resources, or simply by spreading the word—your kindness will help lay the foundation for ongoing growth, comfort, and communication in this young boy’s life.

Thank you for taking the time to hear this family’s story. Your compassion truly matters.
