Zander is about to lose a huge chunk of his therapy funding because he is turning 6. This decision is based soley on an age scale as opposed to a progress scale. Z has made and continues to make amazing progress and the idea that he is probably going to lose several therapy hours a month is heartbreaking to us.
For anyone who has ever wanted to help here is your chance:
Eric has written a song with his friend Erika inspired by Zander & Autism. It's the song a lot of you have heard on our facebook pages before for free, only now it's up on both i-tunes and amazon for .99cents.

About .70cents from each download comes our way and would go back into Z's therapy fund to help us offset this dramatic drop in therapy coverage. Download the song one time and ask others to do the same. You may not think that your $1 can make a difference but if 500 people download the song, that almost covers an entire month for the one tutor that we may otherwise be losing.
This is not easy for us to ask but it's a beautiful song, they worked hard on it and it's ONE DOLLAR, one time. I've met multiple special needs families over the last few years who put a DONATE button on everything they can.... we just have never felt right about doing that. Eric and I really wanted to make sure people receive something for their money, so we say DOWNLOAD don't donate! You'll receive my husband and Erika's hearts through the gift of music and know you've had a hand in Zander's future and of course there's always my love and gratitude!
Here is the youtube video we made for the song, please enjoy it, and if you see it up on either of our facebook pages don't just click like... click share and ask your friends to do the same. I see people sharing videos and pictures of all sorts of random sensless things could it really hurt to share something heartfelt that means the world to someone?
