Thank You For Coming To Sponsor Aaron Today!

Name: Aaron Dedios

Age: 7

Background:

     Aaron is the boy in the picture on the right. He turned seven on November 19th. He lives in Hialeah, Florida with his mom, dad, and brother. And he needs your help.

     Aaron was born and began developing as any regular baby. He began walking at 11 months. Talking at 12 months. But at 18 months, things began to change…

     Suddenly, he stopped responding to his name. His mother, Raquel, could scream and still he wouldn’t turn his head. Shortly later, he was diagnosed with autism.

Aaron Doesn’t Talk…  Doesn’t Play With Toys… And He Lacks Basic Self Care Abilities…

     While Aaron is verbal, he only repeats words when you ask him to do so. Otherwise he doesn’t communicate. Period.

     Can you imagine not being able to communicate with your child? Not having him tell you what’s going on in his life? Not having him tell you ANYTHING for the matter? Let me just say, his mom’s biggest wish is to communicate with her son.

     In fact, very frequently Aaron just begins crying hysterically like he is in some kind of severe pain. His eyes go red and start tearing, he begins screaming, and no one knows why. He can’t communicate what’s going on with him.

     Neither does Aaron play with toys, 

and he lacks basic self-care skills. For example, he’s seven years old now and hasn’t been able to learn to be toilet trained yet.

Why Aaron Jumped Out Of A Third Floor Window…

     Aaron is extremely hyperactive because of his autism. He can’t sit or stand still for more then a moment. He is constantly running around, jumping off things, bumping into things. He’s like a speeding bullet with no given direction.

     The worst part about this: With his autism comes NO sense of danger.

     He’s been in more life and death scenarios then can be counted. If you go outside with him and are not holding him securely, he would run right into traffic, as if there weren’t cars on the road. Happened many times. And then… last year…

     … Aaron jumped out a third floor window because it was opened. Thankfully by miracle he wasn’t seriously injured.

     He also climbs everything he can. A few months ago, on a visit to his grandparents, he was with his family in their backyard. And, out of the blue, they realized he somehow climbed his way to the roof of their house!

     He was running around on this steep roof, jumping around, and thankfully they got him off the roof before he could have severely injured himself.

Can Things Be Even Worse? Yes, And Here’s How…

     Aaron’s family is struggling financially. They can’t come remotely close to paying for all the things Aaron’s doctors say he needs to get better, which includes:

     A special gluten-free & caffeine-free diet: $100 a week minimum/$5,000 per year.

     10 hours of verbal behavior therapy per week: $450 a week/ $23,000 a year.

     10 hours in Integrated Group Program per week: $295 a week/$15,000 a year.

     That’s already a total of $43,000 a year, and this list doesn’t include the supplements he needs, doctors visits, and other costs, taking it to $50,000+ a year.

     Aaron’s parents, Raquel and Armando, are deeply anxious, afraid, and frankly…depressed… by not having the finances to give Aaron the help he needs.

     This is why your help is needed. We’re trying to raise donations for Aaron to provide him the help he needs to get better. No one can help the entire world, but we surely can help one person at a time. Would you help make today ‘Aaron’s day’?
