Supporting JJ and Every Bright Mind Like His


We are supporting Autism Speaks this year for a very special reason, our friend's son, JJ. JJ is a bright, curious and amazing little boy who happens to have autism. His world looks a little different from ours and every day, his parents walk beside him with love, patience and pride.


Raising a child with autism can be both beautiful and challenging. There are days filled with joy - when JJ learns something new, shares a smile or finds comfort in the things he loves most. But there are also days that test a parent's strength, when communication is hard, when routines feel overwhelming or when the world doesn't always understand what makes JJ unique. 


Through every high and low, JJ's parents have shown what unconditional love truly means. They celebrate his victories, big and small and they never stop believing in his potential. JJ teaches everyone around him the power of kindness, understanding and seeing the world through a different lens. 


That's why we're proud to support Autism Speaks. To help provide resources, raise awareness and build a more inclusive world for children like JJ. Every step we take, every dollar we raise, is for him and for every family walking this journey with courage and love. 


Love, JJ (Baby Boy) Jessica (Mommy) & Elizabeth (Friend)
