Photo of my son was taken on Popof Island in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. While living in the Aleutians in 2006 our son went from a 15 month old with normal development to Autistic.... over night. He stopped talking, walking, interacting... the little boy we knew was lost. We moved from the island to find answers & get help. Now Trapper is a month from turning four years old and we continue to search for ways to help him communicate. He still does not have a single word. My designs are to help spread awareness of this epidemic called Autism and to raise funds to help our son bring home his Autism Assistance Service dog from a non-profit organisation called 4 Paws for Ability. We have raised our goal for the organisation, but are still continueing to raise funds for the travel expenses. To learn more about this amazing friend our son will be bringing home in May/June 2009, check out www.4pawsforability.org. Thank you for your support! 25% of all our designed items will go towards the travel funds needed to travel from Alaska to Ohio to train with our son's new best friend. The training is 2 weeks long & then we can bring his service dog home to Alaska...finally!
