Help the Autism Society of Illinois While Helping Yourself to Some Awesome Gift Cards
Homeowners can help the Autism Society of Illinois raise funds while helping themselves to some awesome gift cards by signing up for the free Homeowner Advantage USA program using the link provided. Qualified homeowners agree to use a realtor affiliated with the program if they sell their homes during a specified period time. Homeowners earn gift cards whether they sell or not, and there is no obligation for them to sell. It's an easy way to help out a great organization while earning gift cards valued between $300 and $2,000. The Autism Society of Illinois provides resources, referrals, support and services to improve the lives of individuals and families in Illinois who are affected by autism spectrum disorders.

HollyRod Foundation Helps People with Autism Get Ipads to Help them Communicate
The HollyRod Foundation is helping families of people with nonverbal and minimally verbal people with autism that meet income guidelines ($35,000 for single income families; $50,000 for two-income families) to obtain Ipads and gift cards to purchase apps to help them communicate more effectively. Unfortunately, the foundation has received far more applications for the devices than it can currently fund. Please make a donation to the HollyRod Foundation and help them give the gift of voice to a person with autism. For families who'd like to apply for a free Ipad, continue to check the foundation's Web site through December 31, 2010, as they will accept additional applications if sufficient funding comes through.
