Help Autumn get Life Changing Therapy!

Donation protected
THANK YOU FOR REACHING OUR 10K GOAL!!! Anything more will be for the family travel expenses and rental car needed during the three week period of Autumns program. Thank you all so much!!!!


Meet Autumn — a bright, determined, and joyful 3-year-old living with cerebral palsy. Despite the challenges she faces every day, Autumn continues to surprise everyone around her with her strength and spirit. Everyday Autumn receives many different therapies from the most amazing therapists that have been tremendous in her development and growth. There is now an opportunity for Autumn that will help build upon the progress she has made by utilizing the benefits of a therapeutic intensive program.

Autumn has just been selected off a long waitlist to attend a three-week intensive therapy program at the renowned NAPA Center in Denver, Colorado. This program is designed specifically for children like Autumn and focuses on helping the body learn to move, strengthen, and function in new ways during a critical window of development.

This is a rare opportunity — and it comes at a high cost.
The total for the program exceeds $10,000, and unfortunately, insurance won’t cover it. Because Autumn already receives therapy through her school, the insurance company has denied coverage, even though this program offers a completely different, highly focused level of care.

That’s why we’re reaching out to our community.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward the cost of Autumn’s medical therapy at NAPA, giving her the best possible chance at increased mobility, independence, and a better quality of life.

This intensive program can make a world of difference, especially at this young age when her brain and body are still developing rapidly.

Please consider donating — and if you’re unable to give, simply sharing this page can help bring Autumn closer to this life-changing opportunity.

Thank you so much for supporting Autumn, her parents Sarah and John, and her brother Finn, and everyone cheering her on.
