Luke’s
Journey Autism Fund was established by Doug Underwood in collaboration with
Autism Empowerment. The mission of Luke’s Journey Autism Fund is to provide
grant opportunities and resources for families in Southwest Washington and the
Greater Portland metropolitan area who need financial assistance to cover costs
related to supporting their children who have been diagnosed with an autism
spectrum disorder.
Children
18 and younger who live in southwest Washington or the greater Portland, Oregon
metro area (Clackamas, Clark, Cowlitz, Hood River, Lewis, Multnomah, Pacific,
Skamania, Wahkiakum and Washington) who
have a documented autism spectrum diagnosis are eligible to apply for the
grant. The requested therapy, service or equipment must be directly related to
the child’s autism treatment and recommended in writing by a doctor, therapist
or special education professional. Preference is given to families who exhibit
financial need, and extenuating circumstances are given consideration.
The
grant could be utilized to fund a variety of services and activities, such as
therapies, summer camps, communication devices, advocacy, IEP assistance, recreational
leagues, scouting programs, sensory items and service animals.
