April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day and the month of April is Autism Awareness Month.  As some of you may know, my younger daughter was diagnosed with autism around the age of three (she’s now 13!!).  It’s been an interesting 10 years with lots of twists and turns and a few tears too…but it is amazing to see how far she’s come with the right supports in place.  If you’re interested, you can read a bit about our autism story here.  I initially wrote it several years ago and try to keep it updated.

To celebrate World Autism Awareness Day and to kick off Autism Awareness Month, I’m hosting a fundraiser to benefit programs that support those with autism!

How can you help??  Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Or Donate Directly!

There are two ways that you can help me to reach my goal of donating $500 to autism programs:
