Help Sebastian's Family Against Autism Discrimination

Sebastian's family lives in Tucson and has been the subject of harassment, bullying, and unfair treatment in the community they live in because of their child who has autism. The family is feeling immense pressure and ridicule in the apartment community that they live in. Their child is mocked and imitated, and they are feeling both unsafe and without support from the residential authorities. Multiple police reports have been filed to help protect the family however they are dealing with daily pressure from neighbors who are not respectful of individuals with disability, the family is in fear that something could happen. The family is on a fixed budget and moving shouldn't be necessary nor is it not something they can accomplish without having to make hard financial choices.

As many families with children experiencing severe autism encounter, the family has faced challenges such as education, therapy, and the costs to provide the complex care needed. The additional ridicule and discrimination has caused the entire family to feel both unsafe and unwelcome just because their child is different. They are actively pursuing all options including legal counsel and considering moving to a safer environment.

Please consider offering your monetary support to this family so their struggles are a little bit less. Please help to stop discrimination when you see it of any form and especially against children.
