<div>Hi. We’re Kathy and Shane. And this is our son, Lane.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lane is 27 years old. He’s autistic. He lives at home with us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve been raising Lane his whole life. Not just when he was little — every stage, every year, every day. Parenting didn’t stop at 18 for us. It just kept going.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Some days are good days. Some days are really hard. Some days are exhausting before they even start. Lane needs routine, structure, and support. He also needs dignity, independence, and a sense of control. Balancing all of that isn’t easy, and we don’t always get it right.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re not asking for sympathy, and we’re not asking for handouts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re trying to plan for Lane’s future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, Lane lives with us full-time. We’re always there to help him, guide him, and keep him on track. That works today. But we know there will come a day when we can’t do this the way we do now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds raised through this project are going toward creating a small, separate living space for Lane — something right in our our back yard where he will be monitored 24/7!  A place where he can have his own routine, his own space, and more independence, while still being safe and supported.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That means: A small living area where Lane can make his coffee, cook simple meals, and have privacy. This would be a  step toward independence that doesn’t overwhelm him
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Peace of mind knowing he’s learning how to live as an adult in a way that works for him. This isn’t about pushing Lane out of our home.
</div>
<div>It’s about helping him grow — and preparing for a future we all know is coming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re doing the best we can, one step at a time.
</div>
<div>And we’re sharing our story because we know we’re not the only family living this life.
</div>
