Noach needs your help

Donation protected
This is Noach

He lives in a world of his own, filled with Lego sets and weather reports and anything else that captures his interest. Today he asked me if we can build a house out of concrete because he saw a YouTube video showing how to do this.

Normally I would be thrilled at my son keeping himself busy.

But let me explain,

Noach is 13 years old with a 3rd grade education. Noach has been diagnosed with Autism and has not been able to learn without being taught by a special educator.

The private school we had sent him to has not been able to educate him and we applied for an IEP (Individualized Education Program) from the local public-school system.

We started the process early 2019 and after all the assessments and testing they acknowledged that Noach is Autistic however they can only offer 2.5 hours of special education, the remaining time will be spent in the general education setting.

They have my 13-year-old son who has a 3rd grade education in an 8th grade class.

The curriculum is over his head, he does not understand what is being taught and he spends his day staring at the computer screen in frustration. Every day he comes home upset or crying, every night he cries himself to sleep yelling that he does not want to attend that school.

His favorite time of the day is the 30-minute session he has with the special ed teacher; a teacher who understands how to communicate and relay the subject matter to him.

We have had meeting after meeting with the school requesting a full day of special education, but they maintain that this all my child needs.

After much research and inquiring to other parents who have had similar experiences, I was referred to a top law firm who specializes in this field; and here is where I need to ask you for your help.

I was able to raise the funds to retain the law firm, however the school is stalling and drawing out the meetings, (we have had 7 three hour meetings) I suspect in the hopes that I run out of money and stop my fight. However, as a parent I cannot stop, I must do all I can to provide for my children; even if that means asking for help from complete strangers.

Both I and my wife work full time as well as  taking care of our three children, (two of which are special needs) we have exhausted our savings and at this point we have no one else to turn to.

Legal and medical expenses have already surpassed $10,000 and until I can raise more money our battle is on hold.

Please open your hearts and your wallets, even the smallest amount will make a difference.

Thank you
