Families Helped by AutismCares

A "thank you" is enough! Our family recieved the support award and it has made such a difference. I had been laid off from my job of ten years, struggling on how to pay our bills and feed our family. We applied to Autism Cares and was selected. Serena Selkin was so kind and helpful. Kelly Olson “My son's case manager told us about AutismCares. I was able to to use the award to payback rent, so we would not be evicted. We are blessed by autism cares, thank you for your help." Mrs. Johnson ”
