As some of you know, our son Thatcher was diagnosed with autism in January of 2023. He has struggled with a significant speech delay and fine motor skills, even now at the age of 5. He is currently enrolled in ECSE and will be attending a new school this fall.

We were suggested to get him an AAC device (speech communication device) per his speech therapist to help give him a voice, and it will also be needed for his new school to help his speech grow. Our insurance only covered $50.00, which left us with a total of $867.00.

I know times are hard right now, but with me going to school with limited time to work and Dakoda's hours being cut we are struggling. To have this speech device paid off would help relieve some of the stress we have right now. I normally would never ask for help, but to have this paid off would be a big blessing to our family.
