It's that time of the year again when we reach out to our amazing community of family and friends and ask for your support! 

Cruz is doing amazing! He has achieved so much during his first year in services. He is now verbal and is trying his hardest in using his words when asking for things or having big feelings. He attends ABA twice a week and speech therapy once a week, so he is one busy little guy! The reason Autism Speaks is near and dear to our hearts is because we know that if more families are able to access resources for their children, as early as possible, the easier it will be for them to go through this journey as a family. Please support our Autism community by donating what you can and we would love to have you join us for the Autism Speaks field day on October 12th in San Jose! Let's grow Cruzzy's Tribe and represent the love that surrounds him on that day!

Love, The Flores  

Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism. Each of them, have unique strengths, challenges and potential. Autism Speaks will be there for them. You and I can be too.

It’s only through the dedicated support of people like us that Autism Speaks can continue their vital mission work. Each year, the Autism Speaks Autism Response Team makes direct contact with tens of thousands of individuals looking for advice or guidance and more than one million people access their free nationwide autism services and resources. They continue to partner and support research to improve the lives of people with autism by investing in science that will allow more personalized treatments and therapies. You can find out even more about where your fundraising dollars go at autismspeaks.org/our-work.

Please join me by donating to help me reach my fundraising goal. Together, we have the power to enhance the lives of people with autism and make a meaningful difference. Thanks so much for your support!
