Bright Steps Forward has created a unique new fundraising program for families worldwide who cannot afford the myriad of therapies needed for their child. Our concept is simple: using GoFundMe to tell their compelling story and meet their fundraising goals. Parents and Bright Steps Forward will share their link with family, friends and social networks who are encouraged to support the cause with a donation and help the campaign go viral. GoFundMe works well when you are willing to actively advocate on behalf of your child for private donations.
Owen
Owen is a kind, warmhearted and very social young man. Unfortunately, he suffers from Autism and Oral Motor Dysfunction. Partly due to his Hypotonia and other physiological disabilities, he needs multiple therapies. We are asking for help to provide physical and swim therapies to help give him the strength and coordination he needs.

They said Lloyd would never talk
Lloyd is a 7 year happy boy who loves anything electronic. He also adores music which always brings a smile to his face especially when he is not feeling well. Things are going better since he attended ABA therapy at Therapies4kids. He is now talking, potty trained and doing a whole lot more than initially expected by his doctors, but he needs so much more to improve his quality of life.

Help Tristan go the next step
Tristan is the second of two wonderful boys the Chelette family has been blessed with. He is four and his brother, Cody, is seven. Tristan was born in May 2002. He was a large healthy baby boy. He did all he could to keep up with his brother. He wanted to taste everything, one time his Mom even pulled two live ladybugs out of his mouth.
