This loan has been fully repaid!
First Posted On: January 14, 2009
Name: Dazmen ("Daz")
Age: 7 years old
Diagnosis: Autism
Loan Sought: $494
Loan Needed For: Annual membership (+ one-time registration fee) for Autism Action Plan (www.autismactionplan.org). [Note: Autism Action Plan is a new website from DAN! doctor Kurt Woeller that provides access to information and tools, and to Dr. Woeller himself via video chat and parent forums. Austim Action Plan is a new Lend4Health partner and will be providing Dazmen's family (and any interested Lend4Health families) with a $169 rebate the month after they register. This essentially will count as their first 4 monthly loan repayments.]
Repayment Terms: 12 months (~ $41.17/month)
Other Notes: Dazmen's mom, Elizabeth, writes: "My son is a beautiful seven year old who has severe Autism. He does not read or write and his language skills are very low. His inability to communicate clearly causes him high levels of frustration. A recent hair analysis showed toxicity of aluminum and mercury in his system. Last year we started Dazmen on a gluten-free casein-free (GFCF) diet because he would break out in welts and neither his pediatrician nor the hospitals could tell me why. I know a DAN! doctor could help him. I just do not have the income to take him and his insurance will not cover it. He has been in therapy since he was 2 and it is clear that our babies need more than therapy. They are physically ill and DAN! doctors know what to do. Help me help my son. With a hopeful heart I beg you and thank you." Elizabeth learned about Lend4Health from Nikki, co-founder of the PEACE autism support network in Florida.
