A Mother’s Day message from
founding Board Member, Laura Stone As Mother’s Day approaches, I am re-introducing an annual fundraising campaign to honor our moms…especially those who parent individuals with autism. I began this drive in honor of my own mother, who passed in 2021 as well as the mothers of my dear friends, Sammi and Doug Robertson, who passed within four months of one another in 2022. Both women were “Nanas” to Bailey, Sammi and Doug’s son who has autism. As the pandemic highlighted, most of the load managing a family continues to be on the mother’s shoulders. Layer in autism, and these women must be miracle teachers, caregivers, advocates, superheroes, and more! Sammi and Doug are incredibly special people who give so much of their time, energy, and resources to lead Bailey’s Team for Autism, a non-profit that directs needed funds to agencies responding to the continuous passion of mothers seeking the needed care and support for their child with autism. Bailey’s team also works hard to educate the community about how to understand and best support those with autism. As a tribute to all the women in our lives who have done so much, please consider honoring them this Mother’s Day by giving to an organization that lifts the load for mothers. As a founding Board Member of this special organization, I am happy to give to Bailey’s Team for Autism, and I invite you to join me - to support those with autism and their families while honoring some very special women… Will you join me? |
As we prepare for our upcoming Art Show in September, we are seeking artists on the autism spectrum who would like to share their work! If you are interested please email sammirobertson@comcast.net.
