Helping Leelo's Local Friends Gear Up

This is a local effort to help Leelo and his friends by getting his school district's sorely underfunded occupational therapy room a scooter ramp. This will help not only autistic kids like Leelo but all the kids in our city who rely on school district--i.e., public--support for their sensory and occupational therapy needs.

I am trying to raise $757.90, which includes the ramp's purchase price and shipping. If we can raise the money by 12/20/06, it will be a lovely holiday gift. If we can raise the money by 12/20/06, it will be a lovely holiday gift for the special ed department. In fact you can even print out this page and tell your friends that you made a donation in their name instead of getting them a cluttery, tangible gift.

Straight donations are welcome, of course, but I am also selling handmade Leelo coloring books at $20 each. The books feature the bold lines and simple rhymes that Leelo and his friends enjoy, plus scenes that will make any parent--but especially parents of autistic children--chuckle (or sigh) in recognition.

You can see the coloring book by cutting and pasting this URL:

If you want a coloring book, click on the "contribute" button below, go to PayPal, put "coloring book" in your PayPal subject line, and don't forget to include your shipping address.

You can also help by ordering Leelo shirts and gear. A $10 donation is part of their purchase price. I will add a further $10 donation from my own pocket if you send me a picture (aba_help@yahoo.com) featuring your Leelo gear, which you can get by cutting and pasting:

Here is the ramp's description:

"This ramp incorporates a climbing feature with the addition of bilateral hand rails in addition to the rope attachment for hand-over-hand climbing. The ramp can be adjusted to 2 different inclines. Both ends of the ramp are beveled where the ramp meets the base and floor to give a smooth ride. Assembly consists of 4 wooden pieces held together with wing knobs. No tools ever needed. Easily disassembled and compactly stored."

Again, our deadline is 12/20/06. Leelo and his friends say Thank You!

Progress

Goal has been reached!

Hi Folks,

I accidentally listed the wrong URL for the scooter board, and DropCash won't let me edit this campaign without changing its URL.

The correct scooter board URL is:

Thanks,

I also can't change the editing errors in the second paragraph. Sigh.
