Help a Local Boy Unlock a Brighter Future

Louis needs your help and his family is raising funds through GoFundMe.

Louis is a 4-year-old boy with Autism and his family is raising money for his cause via the GoFundMe Web site.

According to the page on GoFundMe, Louis is a vibrant, joyful, and busy boy who loves music and animals.  

The page states, "Louis's diagnosis of autism and sensory integration dysfunction came just before his third birthday and just two weeks after I, his single mother, lost my job. The following year was a whirlwind of assessments, appointments, and endless research. I'm now well versed in the education and insurance systems provisions for autism treatment and the many gaps medical and educational that must be filled privately. Treatment for autism is a very intensive, comprehensive, and expensive undertaking that involves his family and a team of professionals."

So far, $160 has been raised. To donate to the cause, visit the GoFundMe page.
