Please help if you can!

Autism Awareness Key Fob


Please help our efforts to get our son Jake an iPad! Jake is 10 years old, minimally verbal and significantly affected by both autism and cystic fibrosis.

His iPod Touch has opened up new worlds for him. BUT - the augmentative communication software is too hard for him to use on it due to fine motor issues! We are looking to get an iPad to help him communicate with us better. Due to high costs for his ongoing care, we can't afford this expense out of pocket, and insurance/school won't cover it.

The keyfobs go around your wrist and are a great way to show your support for autism - and keep track of your keys! You can even write contact information on the inside of the loop for safe return of lost keys!

One keyfob is $10 plus $2 shipping = $12. Email me to order! I take Paypal. Thank you so much for your support!

AND/OR - we are still doing the iPad Challenge with The Puzzling Piece. I've gotten discouraged because we're only up to 15 out of 60, but I've found out that for every 12 we get, we get a $100 Apple Gift Card, so all is not lost! If you'd rather contribute this way, here are the instructions:

If you order one of the necklaces or key chains listed at this link, some of the proceeds to go help autism - you can pick the organization you want the money to go to. If we get 60 orders, Jake will get an iPad for communication. For every 12 orders we get, we get $100 Apple Gift Card toward his iPad, so I'm hoping that at the least, we can get part of the way there! We are at 15 now so every order counts!

That's a direct link to the product page. ONLY the $20 necklace or keychain count for the iPad challenge for J, but of course you can order whatever you want!

Please note that when you order you MUST put Lauren Ware in the notes section in Paypal (you have to click to add this toward the end of the order process) when you order or it will not get credited to us.

If you want to send a check, you can do that too - email me for details, I can send you my addy and you would make the check out to The Puzzling Piece, then I would ship the item(s) to you.

If you're in Canada: Paypal me $25 for one necklace or keychain and I'll order for you, then ship to you once it gets to me. If you want more than one, email me - I'll only charge you actual shipping (it's steep through The Puzzling Piece to Canada).
