Would Parents Wish to Raise money for their Children's Biomedical Treatments?

Parents who have their children on biomedical treatments such as the Gluten Free/Casein Free (GFCF) and or Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), Organic foods, and vitamin supplements are finding great expense at keeping the regimen going. For example, my son is on both the GFCF and SCD diets which are all organic and 9 different Vitamin supplements including digestive enzymes. None of these costs are covered by insurance or by county services. Initial lab testing recommended by the DAN protocol are also not covered as is the Doctor's visit for the diagnosis of autism.

With the cost of the diet and vitamin supplementation most parents are living from paycheck to paycheck with little or none to save, I personally know a friend who had taken a second mortgage on her house because of the cost of dietary and other therapies. There are even some parents who can't even take the first steps because of the cost. What is a parent to do?

I vote that there should be some sort of assistance for parents regarding the biomedical treatment therapies. Some sort of fund raiser that can be held for the purpose of helping parents with Biomedical Therapies.

Are there any funds out there for this purpose? I haven't heard yet. I think that this should be an issue that is considered a legitimate fundraiser. What do you think?

I may be pushing a button with this, but this is a real need.

Truly Yours,
