An Update On Zach
Zach is approaching 22 years old! Together we?re marking 17 years since his diagnosis, with a lifetime before us.  

We are over the ?cliff? when school supports have been exhausted and caregivers desperately seek community and statutory support to keep their loved ones engaged and motivated, to give them a sense of purpose.   

We are blessed that Carrie has persevered through countless bureaucratic hurdles to place Zach with Aspire, an adult learning and engagement program through Goodwill.  The road to independence is long before us, but we?re blessed to be on it. 

Please join me supporting so many others struggling though diagnosis and the ?cliff? by donating to Autism Speaks.  Together, we have the power to enhance the lives of people with autism and make a meaningful difference. Thanks so much for your support!
