Family and Friends,
Please watch this video and take action in getting Clay's Law passed. As I watch our sweet Boston everyday I simply ache to see him progress; to have him be able to live a full happy life. Watching this video gave me hope that that is possible. I also ache because although we are doing a lot, I know the 10 hours of therapy he gets each week is not as much as the doctors recommend. Unfortunately; like most families, we can't afford the 25+ hours that we know he needs. This law would require our insurance company to pay for his therapy or atleast partially pay. I don't want to sit back and wonder someday "What if only we had done more." I know he has so much potential. Boston has defied odds already, but like any parent I want to give him the world.
I can't help but feel the guilt that I gave him Autism and I want to do everything in my power to help him reach his full potential. There are so many beautiful children out there who need this help. I see them everyday as I take Boston to therapy. I see their sweet Mother's and the longing in their eyes to help their children. Mira, who is featured in this video, goes to school with Boston and her story broke my heart.
Most of these children are so so smart. If given the tools to help unlock their potential they can potentially change our world. It is widely accepted that Albert Einstein and Bill Gates are autistic. I feel like we can sit back and let some of these children end up in institutions, or we can help them fly and let them be our future inventors, artists, engineers, etc. etc. etc. Even in this tough economy we have to put our money in the next generation. These kids are the future.
Autism has turned our lives upside down, but I hope that it can turn right side up again. Boston is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to us. He can change the world if only given the chance.
Thank you for listening and for all your constant support.
Sincerely,
Carly

I watched this with a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes! Keep up the good work. You CAN make a difference!
Carly you are an amazing women. Don't forget that. Boston is where he is today because of you and JT. I just love that little guy.
Oh Carly,
I admire you more than you know. We love you so much and pray for your family.
I had not heard of this video and am glad to have watched it. It makes me so curious about what the laws are in CO.
Love you!!!
Thanks for sharing that movie. It really touched me. I know that with your help Boston can come out of this. I really really hope that this law is passed I will pass this on. That would be so great if you guys could get some financial help, BOSTON deserves it. Love you guys and think about you all the time. I wish I could be closer to help.
Oh Carly and JT you two are the best parents. Boston surely chose you before he came down to this earth. That video gave me a much better understanding. Boston is in our prayers. He has made HUGE progess. You have sacraficed a lot for him and I can see the love in your eyes that you have for that special boy. And knowing that it is all worth it. I love Clays law and I am glad to know about it. People like you deserve to get help paying for those $$ therapy visits!! I had no idea what other parents went through. It brought tears to my eyes as well as opened them up. That law needs to be passed.
I am all for Clay's Law. I have a cousin who was diagnosed with autism over 10 years ago and as a part time job I was one of her 'therapists' who worked with her daily. This was through Steve Michalski's program 10 years ago, and she was one of those children who was able to be mainstreamed into public school and she is doing fabulous now. So I know there is hope for Boston! I feel for you and can only imagine how hard this is. I hope things work out for you, you deserve all the help in the world! You are amazing and will all be in our prayers!
Wow, I am so glad I watched that and understand more. Thank you for posting it. I really admire you Carly--you are an amazing mom!
