Katherine Castillo is my 6-year-old daughter. She is a nonverbal, severely autistic child who has always faced the world with courage and resilience. Recently, our lives were turned upside down when Katherine was physically abused at school by a paraprofessional. This traumatic event has left her deeply affected, and as her parent, I am heartbroken and determined to fight for her safety and well-being.

We are now facing significant legal and therapeutic challenges. Katherine needs ongoing therapy to help her recover from the trauma, and we must travel frequently to access the specialized care she needs. Additionally, we need to pay for an attorney to take her case to court, recover the video evidence of the abuse, and ensure that justice is served. These costs are overwhelming for our family, but we are committed to doing everything possible to support Katherine’s healing and protect her future.

Any help is deeply appreciated. Your support will make a real difference in Katherine’s life, helping us cover therapy, travel, legal expenses, and the costs to obtain crucial evidence. Thank you for standing with us during this difficult time and for giving Katherine the chance to heal and find justice.
