Where every child's unique potential is recognized and nurtured.
A world where differences are celebrated, not just tolerated.
​
Now Imagine a child facing a world that doesn't quite understand them, that isn't built for the way their mind works. That's the reality for many children with autism, including our son Andrew who was diagnosed in 2008. But here's the beautiful part - we believe that we can change that reality. ​​
​
In 2022, we founded Autism Dreams with a localized mission: to help autistic children in Westchester County access the services and activities that proved so beneficial for Andrew. We raise money for children with autism whose families may not have the means to access to those services. As a fully volunteer-run organization, every dollar we raise goes directly to programs in our area. Since founding Autism Dreams, we've raised over $20,000 to fund initiatives for underprivileged children with autism.
