Gabriel has always been such a happy boy. From the time he could start smiling, he has never stopped! He is also super smart! Gabriel knew all of the colors, numbers, letters and shapes (even the hard ones like oval and diamond) at only 2 years old before I ever sat down to teach him. He's always wanting to learn knew things and as soon as he does, it just sticks in his brain and he never forgets! Unlike most autistic children, Gabriel is very outgoing! He never meets a stranger!
What are Gabriel's favorite activities?Gabriel loves anything to do with trains! He spends most of his time playing with train sets, watching real trains on Youtube and cuddling with his mommy. He also loves eating french fries and taking bubble baths!
How would $25,000 impact your family?I live in government housing with 3 children under the age of 4 with one being diagnosed autistic. Due to having fragile/brittle bones at the age of only 24, I have already broken an ankle and my leg along with having to have surgery on both to get plates put in. I am not able to work due to pain in my legs and nerve damage. The 25K would help with getting my oldest through occupational and speech therapy and also help with going to a specialist to figure out what to do about my bone problems.
