We are a family of 5 who love,argue and do all the things that other families do. One of our daughters is severely autistic. She is also so much more. Her autism doesn't define her, but it does define our options as a family. It limits our ability to pay for our leaky home reclad. Richard worked at a West Auckland school for 30 years before hearing and health difficulties made that untenable. We need help to stumble through our hardships at the moment. We would gladly extend our helping hand to others in their time of need in the future.
