Make a Microloan for 4-yr old Will's Health!

First Posted On: July 22, 2009

Name: Will

Age: 4 years old

Location: Calgary, Alberta, CANADA

Diagnosis: No formal diagnosis

Loan Sought: $5,200

Loan Needed For: Initial DAN! [Defeat Autism Now!] doctor visit plus all initial tests. Their DAN! doctor will be Bruce Hoffman at The Hoffman Centre for Integrative Medicine in Calgary.

Repayment Terms: 18 months ($288.89/month)

Other Notes: Will's mom, Sylvia, writes, "William has been delayed since about 9 months old. He was in a special needs preschool for 2 years and we are looking into placing him into community schooling, unless he is unable to cope, otherwise he will still attend the special needs school. We are pursuing biomedical treatment because after reading Jenny McCarthy's book about her son and his treatments we would like to try something since things never seemed right with him after his 9 month or so vaccinations. With 5 children we can ill afford $5000 up-front but believe it to be needed to help William live a normal happy life, plus we have another son who is looking at the same diagnosis, but is 3 years younger."

Special Note: Sylvia is also collecting donations on her website (click HERE), so her ChipIn goal amount will be changing frequently as donations come in on her site.
