500,000 Teens with Autism to Join the Workforce
Proud of our friends at Aspire Accessories! Their program looks to give this population transferrable business skills by teaching light manufacturing, retail and customer service.

Hurricane Harvey by the Numbers
Since August 26, 2017:
- 729 emails answered
- 574 phone calls returned
- 468 Facebook messages
- 23 families (we met in parking lots to hand off therapy supplies and funds when mail was unreliable those first few weeks after the storm hit)
In total, Autism Rescue Angels has granted funds, medical equipment, and therapy supplies to 126 autism families since Harvey hit 13 months ago.
What a journey! Thank you to ALL who have been part of these efforts. We could not have done any of this without your support!
Our prayers are now with all families trying to put their lives back together in Florida.
