For Remy's Birthday

Wow!  Can  you believe it?

Remy is turning seven at the end of April!

 This year, I hope to make him a birthday party theme with Cookie Monster incorporating it into his GAPS diet. I hope that by that day we will be into the FULL GAPS so that I could make him a cake and some cookies. Of course the ingredients will consistently of seeds, allowed fats, nuts and dried fruit or honey.

To be honest, Remy does not play with many toys. The things he enjoys are good food, fish oil, having fun with someone loving one-on-one and his IPad.  

Every year, we receive very thoughtful wishes and gifts for Remy, so this year we welcome financial gifts that will go toward his ongoing therapies. We appreciate all your kindness and generosity!  

Our ongoing fund raising goals:

Supplements:

Speak fish oil - 
Probiotics -

Consultations and Therapies

Osteopathy - $120/hour - At time of writing this blog post, our first appointment is booked for April 17th.  This initial appointment will be for 1.5 hours and will cost $170.  Once we have the initial assessment, we should be able to find out how often treatment is recommended.  I will update once we find out.

Connecting with Autism consultations - $120 to $150 per 50 minute session
Connecting with Autism GPS (to help Remy's homeschooling success) - $280
Connecting with Autism online training course - $150 for the month of April or $265

A juicer $380.00 would be helpful in getting him the juices he needs for detoxifying as part of the GAPS diet. 

This year Remy has his own bank account, so all birthday cheques can be written in his name:  Remy Laurin. If there are therapies that you would like to personally fund, please let us know.

Thank you all for wanting to be part of Remy's growth.  

We could not do this alone.  Your contribution, love, and belief in us are vital to the success of healing.  

Remember, there is no such thing as a contribution that is too small.  Many times people think that because what they can give is so small that it is insignificant, so do not even consider it to be helpful.  But help is cumulative!  

Imagine we received one dollar from each family member, friend, stranger who receives this message... now imagine that some people will want and can give more than a dollar.  I'll be here to tally up and show you the evidence that gifts grow!  

We are excited to share the wonderful gift of Remy and all that he offers to us.  

Blissful Blessings,
