Autumn is a bright, joyful soul who loves to learn and mimic everything around her. Though mostly nonverbal, she understands so much and responds warmly to familiar phrases. Her giggles are contagious, and her curiosity shines every day. At times, she gets frustrated when she can’t express herself—but her determination and spirit always shine through.
What are Autumn's favorite activities?Autumn loves climbing stairs, carrying toys to proudly show mommy, and imitating her teachers and family. She enjoys looking at animal flash cards and pointing to words in her books. Most of all, she loves listening to music and dancing with joy. TV time is a favorite—Miss Rachel and Elmo always make her smile!
How would $25,000 impact your family?A $25,000 grand prize would have a meaningful impact on our family. It would help us provide specialized therapies, educational tools, and resources to support Autumn’s growth and development. It would also ease the financial strain of ongoing medical and care-related expenses, allowing us to focus more on creating joyful, enriching experiences together as a family. This support would bring both relief and opportunity during an important time in Autumn’s journey.
