This loan has been repaid in full!
First Posted On: April 28, 2009
Name: Lauren
Age: 6 years old
Location: California
Diagnosis: Autism
Loan Sought: $494
Loan Needed For: A year's membership on DAN! [Defeat Autism Now!] doctor Kurt Woeller's AutismActionPlan.org website. [Note: Lend4Health families receive a $169 rebate on a year's membership to AutismActionPlan.org. AutismActionPlan.org is a very supportive partner of Lend4Health.]
Repayment Terms: 12 months
Other Notes: Lauren's dad, Daniel, writes, "It seems like everyone is struggling these days to make ends meet. My family has helped as much as they can, but they are now in the same state. My daughter Lauren is a sweet girl who displays few behavioral issues anymore but continues to struggle with the most basic speech and comprehension. Her focus is much better after 2 years of 20+ hours a week of ABA with the Lovaas Institute. Her treatments are funded by the Harbor Regional Center and the local school district - the trade-off is we have to live in a costly area (though we found the least expensive place we could). Lauren gets sick often and will be congested about 3-4 nights per week. I'm sure this would be improved through biomedical intervention. Lauren's diet is a real problem. She is very stubborn and refuses to eat fruits and vegetables so we definitely need help. I lost my job at the end of January and have been struggling to make ends meet - and of course it's more expensive to buy healthy foods. I simply can't afford to get her the best treatment, which she deserves. I feel guilty that I could be doing more for my daughter, even though I do my best. She is a very hard worker and an angel of a girl. Thank you for this wonderful program - you are angels on a very important crusade to save our children from a lifetime of dependence and uncertainty. Thank you for your consideration."
Special Note: Daniel learned about Lend4Health through a post on the TACA message board.
