If money could grow on trees....

Dear Readers,

After our wonderful stint in Wisconsin with the hyperbaric treatment, I found out about an organizaation called Act-Today and they give out grants to families who have kids with Autism. I applied back in July for a sizable grant of $14,900 to help purchase a home hyperbaric chamber for the boys and my two nephews. After waiting for almost 5 months we got our answer. The organization would not be able to Grant us the money for Hyperbarics due to the fact that until they find more evidance of it's affectivness on children with autism they want to spend their money on other proven therepies. The boys benifited so much from the Hyperbarics and I was so hopful that this Grant would go through. How can i raise the money for this? I don't have time to do fund raisers and frankly I don't have the energy. I wish I could find someone or some company that would be willing to donate a chamber or the money.

Autism affects everyone that has it Differently. I feel like I am fighting an up hill battle and I found a wonderful tool to help the boys and I don't know how to get it. It is so frustraiting, it's like going to war and having all these weapons, which all work in there own way, but what you really need to get ahead is a freakin missle launcher. I saw the the effects Hyperbarics had on my kids, specially Kadin, I feel like I got to use a missle launcher for one day and then it was taken away. I am blogging because I hope some random stranger will read this post and have an idea. So many Great things are happening with Kadin I feel like each day he if coming more and more awake and presant. The great things i saw in Wisconsin are continuing and with the new addition of Truman (Kadin's service dog) I feel greater things are to come. I know if we could get a home chamber the boys would continue to benifit from it.

Dear Lord, you know these things weigh heavely on my heart and mind continue living in me and speaking to my heart. Keep my family in your hands.
