I have a cousin named Leo, very smart in his
own little way.
I asked what his favorites were:
Color is Red, Thing to do is playing video
games, Animal is a cheetah, TV show is “How I met your mother”, Holiday is his
birthday and Toy is Pikachu.
He is just like any other child but in 2007
he was diagnosed with autism. I have no words to describe how amazing he is, my
aunt Renee Martinez was there for me when I was younger, so for once I would
like to do something amazing for her and Leo. I am joining with Autism Speaks
and holding a fundraiser June 15, 2013. It is a long ways a way but I want to
make sure that I get as many sponsors and volunteers for this event. I was
thinking about a bike show, or car show or even a walk-a-thon or just doing all
of them. I was thinking about blow-ups, T-shirts, face painting, food, bands,
silent actions, I have a lot of things I would like to do but there is only so
much I can do on my own. So this is where I am asking to donations, doesn’t
matter what you donate anything will be great.
But I don’t want to stop there; I would like
to find an office space and studio to have a program held for children with special
needs and I don’t want to have it for just the children but for the whole
family; something that everyone will enjoy. I plan to make a studio where children
get to explore the art of photography. Where they can get there hand on a camera,
and take pictures of their families and object to where they can feel like a
photographer, then I will edit their work and make them a book.
This is my other challenge is a NAME what to name my program.
