Hi John,
I hope that you and your family are staying safe and healthy. Our
thoughts are with you and every member of our community. We are here
to help, but we can't do it without you.
That's why I'm reaching out again today asking for your
support: [link removed]
Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit:
* We've experienced a 30% increase in requests from
individuals, families, caregivers and providers who urgently
need our help via the Autism Response Team. They are fielding
thousands of calls and emails per week, and we know the needs of
our community will only increase over the coming weeks and
months.
* Applications for Autism Speaks Cares Grants, which provide
direct financial support to those who need it most, grew from
single digits to the hundreds in just four days - and have
continued to soar.
* More than 50,000 people have accessed our COVID-19 web pages,
finding vital answers and resources in this incredibly difficult
time.
Please help us to continue to help people with autism directly by
giving today. Plus, thanks to a generous donor, the Henry A. Quinn
Foundation, your gift is doubled. That means twice as many people will
be touched by your generosity: [link removed]
I want to share just one example, out of so many, of why your support
matters. I'm touched by the words from this recent grant
recipient:
"I can't tell you how thankful I am to all of you helping
us in so many ways. I can't believe I'm going to see the light
we need right now in this time of need. Thank you all so much. Words
can't explain how great this is. Thank you again."
Not only does your contribution allow us to provide crucial direct
assistance, resources and information... it enables us to provide
something that's hard to put a price on: hope.
John, can you give today so that your dollars can work
twice as hard toward providing relief for our community in this time
of need?
We are so deeply appreciative for your support today and every
day.
With gratitude & hope,
Angela Geiger
President & CEO
Autism Speaks
