I’m reaching out on behalf of a dear friend of mine who is going through one of the most difficult times of her life. She’s a devoted, hard-working mother doing everything she can to support her autistic son, who is currently facing a serious mental health crisis.

Despite reaching out to countless resources, programs, and professionals, the help simply hasn’t been there when it’s most needed. Her son has been hospitalized, and she’s had to miss work to be by his side—sacrificing sleep, income, and stability, all in the name of love and care.

Because of this, she’s now facing severe financial hardship. There are repairs needed in their home, and many daily living items that need to be replaced, due to damages caused during emotional outbursts. She’s struggling to afford basic things like meals, transportation, and essential living expenses—all while trying to navigate an overwhelmed and under-resourced mental health system.

This GoFundMe is to help relieve even a fraction of the stress she’s carrying:

    •    Cover household repairs, replace clothing and shoes for Logan that he has ripped and torn

    •    Provide groceries and meals

    •    Support transportation to and from appointments

    •    Replace lost income from missed work

    •    Help with any therapy or support services not covered by insurance

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a difference. If you’re not able to give, please consider sharing this campaign. Let’s come together as a community to lift her up during this time. She deserves to know she’s not alone.
