The Needs Statement

In 2020, the CDC reported that approximately 1 in 54 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (2020, September 25). The costs that these families have to come up with can be way too much to handle. On average, autism costs an estimated $60,000 a year through childhood, with the bulk of the costs in special services and lost wages related to increased demands on one or both parents (Autism Speaks, 2020). My Brother Rocks the Spectrum is coming to you to raise funds to sponsor more children each year. If we can come up with more funds, we can help the low-income families who can not afford to help their child get the help they desperately need.
