A week ago one of the families I support experienced a tragedy beyond belief. The Paduano’s lost their 6 year old son Jace to an accidental drowning in the Westfield river in Russell Ma. Jace is an identical twin with his brother Jayden. Both boys are diagnosed with autism level 3. The family needs support moving forward. They have limited resources and need our help. Despite the tragedy they have endured, they are looking into setting up a memorial fund in Jace’s name to help individuals with ASD learn how to swim. Funding from the fundraiser will be donated to the family to assist with further securing safety for Jayden, assist with any costs accrued from this tragic event, assist with the cost of swimming lessons for Jayden and placed into the memorial fund to help other children with ASD. Every little bit will help! Thank you for considering helping this family.
