I received an email from Jessica, a Thrifty and Thriving reader, she has a friend with an Autistic son and they are trying to get
support for one of the Pepsi Refresh Grants. Here is the message from her friend:
Dear Friends & Family-
As most of you know, Josh has been undergoing intensive therapy for
over three years now. In the past two years we have been consulting
with an RDI (Relationship Development Intervention) therapist, who has
been working with Josh and us on a therapy that truly has changed
Josh’s life. His development has seen significant gains and he is
changing day after day in ways that we didn’t ever dream possible.
This therapy is NOT covered by any health insurance though, so for
every consultation and therapy we pay completely out of pocket. Our
RDI therapist, Darcy DeFrees has been working on getting families
financial support for this therapy. Beginning July 1st, her autism
consulting business will be in the running for a grant from the Pepsi
refresh everything project.
https://www.refresheverything.com/autismhelp She has applied for
$50,000 to create a scholarship account so she can use to offer
families financial assistance for services. Now that her idea is in
the running, the only way to become a grant recipient is to acquire
enough votes to keep her idea in the top ten of its category by the
end of July. Please WATCH THE VIDEO to get a better idea of what we
are working for.
I am asking you to help in the following 2 ways:
1. Beginning July 1st, VOTE EVERYDAY! You can vote via the refresh
everything website or through facebook. Once we are live, I will send
you a link to vote directly for the submission so that it will only
take you a few seconds. I will be sending out daily reminders to cast
your vote all through the month of July!
2. Please FORWARD THESE MESSAGES ON to any and all who you think would
be willing to partner with us and lend their voting support!
Please consider voting for this great cause! Â They need to be in the top 10 in order to get funding, let’s see if we can help spread the word and get them in the top 10!!!
I just voted for your grant. I had actually just voted for the $250,00 grant for Make JM a Memory. My son has juvenile dermatomyositis (an auto-immune disorder that attacks the skin and muscles) and CureJM is in the running for 2 of the $250,000 grants for the month. I’d appriciate it if you’d consider voting for this organization. Here’s the link https://www.refresheverything.com/makejmamemory
Thanks.
My husband’s project is in the running for this too, we would appreciate any votes! It’s great that you get 10 votes per do to give to different causes.

I just voted for your cause! And I absolutly support it 110%. I curently work with children with autism here in California, and I absolutly love my job! Each and every child is extremly special and needs their own team of people working and supporting their development and thearpy daily. So I will try to vote for the cause every chance I get. Good Luck!!!
