In an organization that is focused on treatment for children on the Autism Spectrum, it might be hard to imagine that something as simple as transportation could stand in the way.
At FOCUS...we're like most non-profits. We put out an appeal letter and a couple of email blasts trying to garner donations. Beyond the messages we sent there's a real need. Transportation costs are very high.
We bring our clients to and from our Extended Day Treatment Program in Canton, Connecticut. For some of the kids, the costs are covered by the state. For others, parents cover the costs. For some of our families the cost can be a barrier. They simply cannot afford it. We're hoping , to raise awareness of the need to cover these expenses. Consistent care and treatment is so important to these children. If they have difficulty attending because of resources...treatment is set back. Let me rephrase. They're progress is set back. The continuum of treatment is interrupted.
You can help!
The cost for the entire transportation program is over $10,000. The cost per client (their share) is about $900.
