There is a cause that hits home with me and to our family, and this same cause may actually impact some of you in your own life. In the United States there is a growing population of children, teens, and even adults who get diagnosed with Asperger's Autism. My son Joshua who is now 11 was diagnosed at 4 years old. He has been tested several times, and consistently scores 141 on his IQ tests. He is so smart, yet he can't comprehend doing what we all do on a day to day without even batting an eye. He can do long division at age 7 yet at 11 he can't tie his shoes, ride a bike, or even get dressed properly. As kids with Asperger's grow older, these issues just don't go away, they can get worse. There is a young woman in the UK who suffers from Asperger's Autism and she is writing several books, from poems she wrote during her dark times as a teen, points of view to help parents of Asberger children, and even children's books to help newly diagnosed children.

You have now viewed the information about Willowhope and looked at the Tier structure, now what?
Yes it is a bit confusing with the conversions to pounds, but I have converted it above, and once you complete the donation to Willowhope using kickstarter.com please send me the information proving payment and send your address to jasonjasonp12@gmail.com and I will get the cards out right away! Any questions please feel free, and please share to any friends, card collectors, or people you know with Aspergers! Wilowhope goal is to raise $588 to get her books published.
Any questions, please feel free to ask! Below are just some of the cards I have set aside to send out! Where else can you get sports cards for donating a few dollars to help out her dream.
*this is open to just US right now, (mostly because the US Postal Service has made it very expensive to ship out of country) if you are from another country ask me first about what I can do for you. But if you are outside the country and do have a large donation, I should still be able to accommodate! I will try to keep this open till Willowhope makes her goal. You can track her goals at her website www.willowhope.com ZERO money goes to me, all goes to the upcoming author and soon to be famous Willow!
All done!
