Help William raise money

For participating in 25th Annual Flutie 5K for Autism

I'm raising money to help people and families with autism live life to the fullest!

My son Jacob was diagnosed at the age of 3 with autism spectrum disorder. While we have met many many great individuals along the way who have been tremendously helpful, Jacob still struggled with day to day activities, especially with schooling . All public schools were unable to properly accommodate him , even collaborative school were unable. Jacob actually spent months without school because of this . In December of 2023 were we informed that Melmark New England may have an opening for Jacob. Jacob started school there a couple months later and while I knew of Melmark reputation of excellence, I was not prepared for just how amazing. Melmark has been a life changing school for Jacob . They don’t see him as a burden like other schools did , but instead see him as part of the Melmark family. They have been so influential in helping him cope with his feelings so as to curb his outward behaviors, all while still providing him the best education he has ever gotten .
