Help Tyler Pay It Forward

Donation protected

Help us feed 5 children!  

Every dollar helps change a child's life forever.  This is how...

My beautiful son, Tyler, has autism and with that comes a HUGE food adversion.  What do I mean by that? 


When he was 2 and 3 years old all he would eat is oatmeal and fishsticks, with the occassional applesauce, yogurt, and graham cracker.  When I say 'that is all he would eat', I literally mean THAT IS ALL. 

Every day.  For two years.

Yes, I tried everything to get him to eat something new.  I even forced food in his mouth, and no it didn't work.
I let him go hungry because some said 'he will eat when he's hungry enough', and no it didn't work, that isn't how autism works.

As a mother, I was at a loss, I couldn't feed my child and didn't know how to help him accept a new food.  I felt like I had failed him.

Then one day, in a desparate attempt, I reached out on facebook and asked for help.  Someone we knew from the start of our autism journey reached back and said to come talk with her.  She is a trained specialist and wanted to take a stab at food therapy training.  Tyler already loved her, as did our whole family, so we went. 

I honestly can't put into words what she did for us, she changed our lives forever...

Allow me to show you:  

He eats. 

Because of Tyler's success she was able to create a food therapy, but with that comes costs, and some can't afford it.  For every $500 raised, we get to pay for a child to go through this therapy, with this particular therapist.  I personally would love to send every child to her, but if we can meet our goal, together we can send 5!

Imagine being a part of something that will change a child's life forever...every dollar adds up.

Thank you so much!!!!!
