Why Your Support Means Everything

As an Autism mom, I’ve faced challenges that many people will never fully understand — the quiet moments of prayer, the late-night research sessions, and the overwhelming desire to give my child every opportunity to thrive in a world that isn’t always built with him in mind. There were times when I felt unsure about the next step because I was my main source of support. But through it all, I found one undeniable truth: we are stronger together.

In the beginning, there were few places where I could find real, practical advice for raising an Autistic child. I searched for resources that would speak to my unique experience — as a Black mom, as a single mother navigating the complex needs of my child, and as a woman trying to build a life and career while also providing my child the best support possible. I couldn’t find a space that combined all of these aspects in one place. And so, I created one — for me, for my child, and for all the Autism moms who needed a community and resources built for them.

The magazine I’ve launched is more than just a publication; it’s a lifeline for Autism moms everywhere. Each issue provides wellness tools, education and entrepreneurship resources, and real stories that resonate with our experiences. It’s a place where we can come together, share, and learn. It’s a safe space to be ourselves — to be the moms we need to be without judgment or feeling like we’re on the outside looking in. It's the first digital magazine that centers moms stories and our full journey.

But I want to do this with my community-That’s where you come in.

The funds we’re raising will go directly toward supporting the creation of this resource for other moms who desperately need it. Your generous contribution will help pay contributing authors, comp magazines, fund social media marketing, and organize events that bring this community closer together. It’s about more than just producing a magazine; it’s about building a support system that will help moms everywhere feel empowered, connected, and capable of facing the challenges of raising children with Autism.

Your donation isn’t just helping me — it’s helping millions of Autism moms who will benefit from this magazine. With your support, we can continue to create content that makes a real difference in the lives of families like mine, and ultimately, build a movement of empowered mothers raising children with Autism in a world that needs to hear their voices.

I’ve always believed that change starts with one step. By contributing to this fundraiser, you’re helping me take that step — and you’re helping countless other moms take theirs.

Thank you for believing in this vision, for supporting me, and for helping us make this dream a reality. Your contribution will not only change my life, but it will change the lives of so many others who need to know they are not alone.
