No Cost Vacation For Families With Autism

The deadline to apply for the vacation is December 31st.  I don't know if travel costs are included but a week in the sunshine sound pretty nice right about now.

 

Here is the information on the contest:

 

In January 2015, 52 CANADIAN families who have a child with autism will be selected to spend a week at this beautiful property on the Emerald Coast of Florida, USA.  A no-cost vacation!

"In early 2012, Global Governance Advisors (GGA) purchased its first vacation home in Sandestin, Florida to serve the needs of families living with autism. The GGA team raised $2 million for this initial residential property on Florida’s Emerald Coast that offers no-cost vacation stays to children with autism and their families.

GGA Vice Chair Luis Navas has firsthand experience with autism, as his son developed a regressive form of the condition at age 2.  Mr. Navas describes his motivation for purchasing the Emerald Coast vacation house, which comfortably sleeps 14, as stemming from a conversation he had with a corporate CEO who had quietly contributed the majority of his income to charitable endeavors."

 

The one week stays are awarded to Canadian families affected by autism and in a financial position which does not permit them to vacation.  The families are selected in January.

Each family is asked to submit:

1. an overview of their autism story that is at least 500 words

2. proof of autism diagnosis

3. proof of being in financial need (T4)

4. a family photo
