Review for Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation Inc, Schererville, IN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Once again, ASDF has blessed those with autism in the greater Pensacola area!! As CEO of Autism Pensacola, I want to let you know how much we appreciate the donation you make to our Kids for Camp Summer Learning Lab! This generous grant will enable us to meet the needs of the most needy campers in our area. This camp provides ABA type teaching and training for teachers while allowing children with autism the opportunity to work on those priceless social skills. In fact, many typical teens volunteer at camp and decide to become teachers or therapists to work with our kids in their future! ALL of this is made possible through the generous donation of ASDF! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

What an amazing day it has been here at Autism Pensacola in Pensacola FL! We have been blessed to partner with ASDF for over 6 years now. They have provided scholarships for our summer camp as well as Holiday Gift Cards to us since 2011. As CEO of Autism Pensacola, the highlight of my holidays is when we get to distribute ASDF provided WalMart Gift Cards to our families in need to brighten their holidays. Today we have had many of the 37 families who qualified stopping by to receive their card. They are so grateful! We have seen many tears of joy and heard stories of the difference this gift will make for their children this Christmas. From the newly single mom who is struggling to make ends meet while meeting her kids' needs to the expecting mother who is on bed rest while trying to support her autistic 6 year old, everyone is so grateful. The icing on the cake is the support you sent beyond the gift card program to help a family who lost everything in a fire to get back on their feet in time for Christmas. This child who has been grieving for his favorite things that we lost will have so much joy when they are restored because of your gift!
Thank you so much for allowing Autism Pensacola to see the joy you provide for our neediest families. You truly make a difference for those living with autism! Thank you to everyone who supports ASDF! Your gifts enable us to be a blessing when it is so needed. Thank you! Thank you!!

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

just give them more money to help great organizations like Autism Pensacola!

Once again, Autism Pensacola was blessed to be able to support 10 families in our area through your Holiday Gift Card program! The joy and relief of the parents when I call them to share the good news that they have been selected is priceless! Thank you, Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation! You make a real difference, one family at a time, through local organizations that really know the need. Autism Pensacola serves one of the poorest counties in Florida and your generous gift of these cards really changes the holidays for these families. Thank you seems inadequate--your gift gives a bright spot to families who struggle and deserve a break. We are SO grateful to be a small part of this process. Happy Holidays!

As President/CEO of Autism Pensacola, I have been blessed to witness the impact on the lives of those with autism in our area that was a direct result from the generosity of Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation. We have been blessed to be part of the Holiday Gift Card program for several years and I have seen many happy tears and heard many parents proclaim how their Holiday has been saved by this gift. In addition, for the past 4 years, ASDF has supported our nationally acclaimed Summer Learning Lab(camp) that not only gives kids a great time but teaches them and their teachers so much. The families ASDF supports are our most needy and they are so grateful every summer to have this life changing experience because of ASDF. I am so grateful and admire ASDF so much. Thank you for making a difference in Pensacola Florida!

I first heard of ASDF when someone questioned me about their fundraising program. I then learned from the website that they fund camps for children with autism. We applied for and receivedover $10,000 to use to fund needy campers at our summer learning lab camp in Penascola, FL. They have also enabled us to support two needy families with basic funds for housing during a period of critical need. Additionally, ASDF has provided funds to support families in need at Christmas through our local organization. I am aware that they fund swimming programs, and therapies as well as camps. We are very grateful for the work of ASDF.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Our area is one of the poorest in Florida. The families ASDF allowed us to support would not have been able to be a part of our summer camp without these funds. The two families helped with basic needs were at their wits end about how to continue when we were able to step in and use ASDF funds to make a difference.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

get more awareness of the good work they do. The high fundraising cost is because they use a professional fundraiser to make this happen. I think with time, this cost will go down.
