I have a brilliant idea!!
I want to get 5 iPads into the hands of non/pre-verbal autistic children... and more if I can.
How?
Well, let me back up a tiny bit and tell you were I got the idea... It stemmed from my frustration with the system. I was using my blog as a rant... aka cheap therapy!! But as I typed those words, I started to get this idea... let's do a fundraiser to raise the funds for an iPad for Sahara.
But, I am not a self-serving person... so I started to think bigger, let's ask for more donations than what we personally need. Let's get enough to fund 5 additional iPads for other Autistics... Imagine the empowerment you would create in those lives!!
Hence the birth of the Sahara's Voice fundraiser.
Well, we posted the fundraiser 5 days ago and have raised $162 so far... while that is awesome!!! I want to keep it rolling.... please share this page with everyone you know... let's show the world what it means to pay it forward!!
Please remember a bunch of little things can add up to be a huge thing!!
If you have a company, consider donating in the company's name. The company will be acknowleged on our blog, twitter, facebook and in press releases.

As a father of a nonverbal 3 year old, this really is heartwarming. thanks for supporting this cause.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome thing you are doing. My daughter has Autism. She was pretty much non-verbal until the age of six. She is now nine and can talk but she still doesn't talk like she should at nine years old. I was not aware of the Ipad's Apps for Autism....very cool! I will share this post for you :)
