revitaPOP
"revitaPOP is the only candy-like supplement, and
Angel loved having his lollipop daily! The use of MB-12 has improved his energy
and the ability to stay focused. He used to always be sensory-seeking, leaning on
anything or anyone close to him. After revitaPOP, he stays straight while sitting.
He also has more energy to enjoy outside activities like running and
biking." -- Vanessa, Mom to Angel To learn more about
revitaPOP, visit www.revitapop.com.

Dear
Friends,
This week has been one filled with many emotions. I have
felt angry, depressed, immense gratitude and an overall malaise within a short
period of time in the wake of Alex Spourdalakis's unexpected passing. Alex was an
innocent 14-year old boy diagnosed with autism whose life was taken by his own
mother. This was a stark reminder of how devastating autism is on a family and how
isolated one parent can feel. The real toll of autism is something that is not
diagnosed by a doctor, but what occurs in the family home. This only reminds us
how essential your work is in improving the lives of those affected by autism and
their caregivers. Our thoughts and prayers are with Alex. Sincerely, Candace McDonald

GENERATION RESCUE &
SEVENLY
Great news - you raised $19,516 for
children with autism through our campaign with Sevenly! As mentioned in previous emails, the grant
program has provided 400 autism families with medical treatment grants over the
past few years.
This April, we set a goal to raise $1M by December
31, 2013 to help another 400 families. The money raised in this campaign is going
directly to our Rescue Family Grant program and is bringing us that much closer to
our goal.
To date, we have raised $220,000 of our $1M
goal.
SUCCESS STORY: ANDREW
"These last three weeks,
with every passing day, Andrew is progressing EXPONENTIALLY.Yesterday, his
harshest, most critical, skeptical therapist, was observing him and said, "I don't
even know what to think. This isn't early intervention. Early intervention
doesn't work this fast." Today she said, "If he continues to progress at
this rate, you need to get him retested before his third birthday. He will
probably lose his diagnosis."
-- Mom to Andrew, current
Rescue Family grant recipient.
Submit your application
for Generation Rescue's Rescue Family grant, deadline for next round is June 20th.
