From the Heart. Autism Awareness. "Matthew's Song" by Susan Boyle
I wrote this song in honor of my nephew, Matthew, who has been struggling with autism for just over 5 years. Ideally I want everyone to know that there are TONS of families out there who liquidate everything they have (because most States and insurance companies do NOT cover autism) simply to fund therapies to help their children get better. Please donate now and call your Senators to support funding for autism research and therapies. (NOTE: Matthew is currently seeking therapy through www.BrainBalanceCenters.com, and he has had tons of positive breakthroughs!!)
