Ava and Cooper are two bright, beautiful kids who both have autism and global developmental delays. They’ve worked so hard through years of therapy, speech, occupational, ABA, and have already overcome so many obstacles with courage and determination. Despite their progress, they still face daily challenges with communication, sensory processing, and behavior that make life harder than it should be. We’re determined to give them every chance to reach their full potential, and seeing Dr. Richard Frye could uncover the medical pieces behind their struggles and open new doors for their development and independence.

We’re raising funds to take our children to see Dr. Richard E. Frye, MD, PhD, a leading pediatric neurologist and researcher who specializes in autism, developmental delays, and metabolic disorders like cerebral folate deficiency. Dr. Frye has published over 300 studies and is recognized worldwide for uncovering treatable medical causes behind autism symptoms—especially issues with folate metabolism, mitochondrial function, and brain inflammation. His integrative, science-backed approach gives families like ours real answers and hope for progress when traditional medicine falls short. Seeing Dr. Frye could help us identify underlying medical conditions, personalize treatment, and give our children the best possible chance to thrive.

This journey is expensive, but we believe it’s worth every penny to give Ava and Cooper the best possible care. The initial evaluation with Dr. Frye costs $1,896 per child, with a first follow-up visit of $948 per child, plus a $299 annual membership fee for ongoing access and support. In addition to the medical costs, we’ll also need funds for flights, hotel, and car rental to travel out of state for these appointments. Every donation helps lift a heavy financial burden and brings us one step closer to answers, healing, and hope for our kids.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story and for caring about Ava and Cooper. Your support—whether through donations, prayers, or simply sharing our page—means the world to us. We’re beyond grateful for every bit of help as we fight to give our children the care, answers, and future they deserve.
