My Nonprofit Reviews

I want to thank ASDF from the bottom of my heart. It has been such a rough year for my family. My son was diagnosed with ASD in Sept. this year, at 4 years and 9 months old. I am learning everyday new ways to connect and support him. Without the proper tools this can be very challenging. He is verbal but his use of language is not functional all of the time. We get into verbal loops and this causes frustration on his end that always results in meltdowns. This gift card gives him the opportunity to get some of the items I just could not provide for him. I just received the gift card yesterday and have yet to buy him anything. My plans are to utilize every penny to its fullest and get him everything I have been researching that will help. He just started school (4days a week, 3 hrs a day). They use a lot of pictures to communicate instead of relying on words. I have yet to master this but trying to incorporate as much as I can. I have never been on the receiving end of anything in my lifetime, I honestly did not think my son would even get the gift card even after it was confirmed by email. I am still in shock and extremely grateful. I still do not have a tree to put up, I had hoped I could get my broken one to magically work again this year but it just will not stay up. It is a tough spot to either choose a tree or presents. Could not afford to do both. I hope now I will be able to get a tree and put it up for him. He loves the lights when we go out at night, so I just know he will love the tree all decorated and put up. Thank you so very much for this. Words just can not explain what it means to just know that your child will wake up to even a single present on Christmas.
