Warning: Child loss mentioned.

 

 

I am just a lurker but I wanted to pass this information on to those who might benefit from it. An absolutely amazing superhero of a little boy lost his life yesterday after a mystery illness. You can follow the inspirational story of Gavin's short 5 years at www.kateleong.com. (sorry, I don't know how to do clicky) His mother was an amazing advocate for children with special needs and a fantastic company called Speak For Yourself is offering free copies of their communication app in memory of Gavin. It is normally $199.99! You can find more information on their app on their facebook page, just search for "Speak For Yourself". Below is what they posted on facebook. I hope that some of you are able to benefit from Gavin's legacy and that your children are able to flourish in the same way that Gavin was.

"We read the heartbreaking story of five-year-old Gavin. His mom's birthday was yesterday, and in honor of her sweet son, she asked that everyone help someone. In her words, "Gavin Leong changed the world with little acts of courage, determination and a sweet smile... without ever saying a word. And then ask them to pay it forward to honor his legacy."

So, in honor of Gavin and his family, we would like to give copies of Speak for Yourself to help individuals who are not able to speak. If there is someone in your life who is nonverbal and would benefit from the Speak for Yourself app, please let us know.
(Comment or send us an email at: speakforyourselfaac@yahoo.com)

The only condition is that if we send you a code for the app, please post something about the child (or adult) that it is helping on the Chasing Rainbows page - a picture or words - to honor a courageous little boy and a family filled with grace who have given life and hope to others through organ donation. We all have the ability to change the world for someone."
