Review for KultureCity, Vestavia Hills, AL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I came across this organization by accident on Facebook. I thank god everyday that a friend commented on a post and it randomly came across my feed. I have a autistic 3 yr old that says about 20 words. I have a iPhone and he has learned so much from playing on it, but I couldn't let him have it cause it is my only life line. I have tried for 7 months now to try and find a way to get him a iPad. My husband was in a motorcycle wreck last year and we have been playing catch up with the bills so we couldn't afford one. No one has been able to help us. I tried to get his speech therapist to recommend a dinovox for him, and she works in the school Dist so she said "no he will be exposed to all of that when he gets to school". All I have wanted for him is the tool to help him be more verbal. The worst thing in the world is not knowing what your baby needs. I imagine the worst thing for him is knowing what you need and not being able to say it. I've waited 3 yrs to hear the word mommy. I was about to give up hope until by accident the wizard talk ipad thing came across my feed. I thought, well it doesn't hurt to try. So I did. I made a fundraiser for the iPad thinking it was a longshot. I could barley breath from crying so hard when we hit the 200$ mark and I knew we had done it. 3 days later our iPad came in the mail. I have NEVER felt so relieved in all my life. I have never had a organization that was so quick to help us in our time of need, and made it so easy to get the help.
I am FOREVER GREATFULL to everyone involved in this amazing organization. They have given us a LIFE CHANGING device. It might just be a iPad to some people, to us it's the gift of speech. I would recommend this organization to anyone that is looking to donate to a reputable org that actually helps REAL people. I thank you all!!!
MY FAITH IN HUMANITY IS RESTORED. BECAUSE OF YOU.
God bless you all.
