Hi John,

Did you know that today is World Kindness Day? What a great moment to encourage inclusion, understanding and acceptance within the autism community and beyond.

To celebrate, a generous donor is making your gift to support our mission go TWICE as far. That's DOUBLE the kindness and DOUBLE the impact for people with autism!

That's right, The Martin Family has committed to match your gift up to $25,000 today! The Martins are committed to Autism Speaks' mission for kids like their son, Jackson, who was diagnosed with autism six years ago. Prior to early interventions, Jackson found it very difficult to express his emotions verbally, but after years of therapy and hard work, he now constantly shares kind words with both his parents and his siblings. Thanks to the efforts of his therapists and the support of the autism community, Jackson has made tremendous progress.

Having experienced firsthand the impact of early intervention, the Martin Family wants to further our mission so that more families can experience the same progress. They're dedicated to helping spread a message of understanding and acceptance, which is why they're offering this generous match in honor of World Kindness Day!

Can you give today to show your commitment to kindness and help us make the most of this generous match offer? Thank you in advance for supporting our mission to promote solutions, across the spectrum and throughout the life span, for the needs of people with autism and their families.

We are so thankful to have a community of kind supporters like you.

With gratitude,

Lisa Goring
Strategic Initiatives and Innovation Officer
