Caitlin Needs A Friend

$18 of $2,000 goal
Given by 3 generous donors in 4 weeks

Caitlin, my daughter, has Asperger's Syndrome. She needs a friend.

Auckland

Caitlin's Asperger's caused her to leave school early and created a number of problems to do with social and life skills. A few years ago, Caitlin made a friend online who has grown to become her social lifeline. Her friend, Athena, lives in America. When I was working, I offered to fly Athena out to New Zealand so they could meet in person. Now Athena is ready to come, but I was forced to leave work a while ago because of health issues (specially issues with heavy lifting). I'm over 50 and cannot find another reasonably paid job. It will cost $2000 to fly Athena here. I'm committed to helping my daughter live a reasonable life.

I'm involved because I want my daughter to have a reasonable life and Athena has helped a long way towards giving her that.

Use of funds
