I was one of the first children in Ocean County, NJ to be diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Life has brought challenges, but I’m truly grateful for who I was then and who I’ve become today. Autism has shaped my strength, compassion, and passion for helping others just like me. This January, my sister and I will be running for autism to expand research, increase awareness, and strengthen understanding as more families are touched by autism every year. Your support means so much. Every dollar raised directly supports the Organization for Autism Research (OAR) and helps fund real resources for families, schools, and professionals, including:
-$10 helps teachers receive professional development training -$25 provides safety guides to families and first responders -$100 brings peer-education resources to an entire elementary or middle school -$150 sends 100 autism guidebooks to community groups or military families -$1,000 funds graduate student autism research -$3,000 provides a college scholarship to a student with autism -$50,000 supports a new pilot research study that can change lives
Your gift is more than a donation. It helps individuals like me be better understood, supported, and celebrated. Thank you for cheering us on and helping this mission grow! 💙
