Greetings of Hope!
I am the mother of an eight-year-old boy who was diagnosed of Autism Spectrum Disorder. He had to undergo therapy due to his inability to focus, self-direct and communicate. The therapy is terribly expensive. He had to attend three therapies in a week. Although we have worked hard to meet his needs in therapy sessions, it is not enough. With this, I would like to seek assistance to help me fund my son's therapy sessions. Any assistance would be eternally thankful.
