From Lauren

I want to share with you what a huge blessing it has been to have received assistance from Hope for Three. My husband and I were struggling to pay for part-time ABA therapy and oftentimes had to ask family members for help. We knew that we would need a full-time option after PPCD ended for the summer, which meant our price would double. Around this time, our son Landon began to make incredible progress in the ABA program,

Hope For Three has been amazing. Thanks to their generosity with information, financial support, and community support, my son Jim and I are making it, even flourishing, through some extremely trying times. As a single working parent of an autistic child, you can imagine my time is extremely limited, and Hope For Three has been an excellent source of information regarding

1) How does it feel to be a dad with a child diagnosed with Autism?

I don’t “feel” any different just because Cole has Autism and his sisters don’t. He is still my son and I love him. He makes me happy and I support him on whatever he wants to do.

1) How does it feel to be a dad with a child diagnosed with Autism?

Being a father of any child diagnosed with Autism is definitely something that is hard to take at first diagnosis. I think it hit me especially hard with Max because he was my 1st born son.

Clayton’s Thanks

Hope For Three is a great organization of great people doing great things for a great cause. We couldn’t be happier with everything they have done for Bailee and my family. If you are struggling with the financial burden of helping your special needs child,

Our son Kyle, was diagnosed 17 years ago with PDD-NOS. Needless to say, we have been fighting this battle for a while…

1) How does it feel to be a dad with a child diagnosed with Autism?

I can only describe it as a roller coaster, and for better and/or worse it is a journey that you do not get to experience all of; I’m home in the evenings and at the weekends.

Joe’s Story

My story is very similar to a lot of parents with an autistic child.  My son was developing normally up until 18 months – 2 years old.  He had about a 100 word vocabulary that disappeared.  No more talking, no more eye contact.

God’s Plan

In 2006, my husband and I became the legal guardians to my then 2 year old nephew Dion who had just been diagnosed with Autism.

Kim’s Thanks

Hope For Three has been an amazing addition to our family. My daughter received a grant for ABA therapy. The therapy has been life changing for our entire family. We had a child whom we couldn’t teach or take anywhere who now is mainstreamed in 6th grade and can go on outings.

Braiden’s Story

Braiden was always delayed in reaching his developmental milestones.

For the first 2 years of Braiden’s life I was not concerned at all, knowing that all children are different and learn at their own pace.

Dr. Dent’s Story

Ethan was born March 5, 2004. During his delivery he aspirated fluid and had to be placed in NICU. After 2 weeks in the hospital we got to take him home. For the next 4 weeks we noticed Ethan wasn’t eating much, wasn’t growing, and finally one night we heard him gasping for air.

Kevin’s Parents

We are lucky to have a lot of wonderful people like Hope for Three standing at our side, providing help and showing hope to us. Thanks for the financial support from Hope for Three, our son – Kevin now has the chance to receive a systematic and thorough ABA therapy. After working with our BCBA, Mrs. Brianne Downing, for a couple months,

Cultivate Harmony for the Autistic Journey

Personal achievement…. Exercising the expression of the energy behind what the label of autism is my premise.  Explained in such a way and exemplified through the mind, body, and spirit.

1) How does it feel to be a dad with a child diagnosed with Autism?

Having two boys diagnosed with Autism brings about different opportunities each day, for growth and learning. I have to approach each day, by first praying, thanking God for all his blessings, and to ask for the strength to endure. With that said, God has truly blessed me with two wonderful sons.

Shane’s Story

After much research as to what may be beneficial in helping Shane to become verbal and independent,  ABA was the therapy that would be most effective for him. We contacted Medicaid and our private insurance to inquire about providing the services we discovered that Medicaid would not provide the services and our private insurance may or may not refund us for the services we could not pay for.

Nikhi’s Journey

Nikhi’s journey began when he was born, but we did not realize that.  He was a good baby.  He did not cry to be picked up or to be fed.  In fact, he was too easily overfed once he started solid food.

Jennifer’s Story

My parents told me that I was a very healthy baby. I slept well, was happy and made all the milestones.  But by 3 years old, my parents saw there was something missing that took the smile from my face.  I was changed from a happy child into a child that didn’t want contact with the world around me.

Christine’s Story

T.J. was born in 1989 in North Conway, New Hampshire. His dad and I were young parents, and he was our first child. Everything was new.
