🌟 “Autism doesn’t come with an instruction guide. It comes with a family who will never give up.” – Kerry Magro 🌟

At Brayden’s Gift, we see firsthand the incredible strength and perseverance of families navigating the journey of autism. 💪❤️ Every day, these families show us what true dedication and love look like, even when the path is uncertain and challenging.

We’re honored to be part of this journey, providing financial assistance to support these amazing families in accessing the resources and therapies they need. Your generous contributions make a real difference in their lives, helping them to keep pushing forward, no matter the obstacles.

Let’s continue to stand together, offer our support, and celebrate the unwavering commitment of families who are making a profound impact. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

Understanding the Financial Challenges of Caring for Children with Autism:

From specialized therapies to educational support and medical expenses, the costs can quickly accumulate. According to a study published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, the average lifetime cost of supporting an individual with autism can reach $2.4 million when accounting for medical care, special education, and lost parental productivity.

Breaking Down the Costs:

Therapies and Interventions: Many children with autism require various therapies such as speech, occupational, and behavioral therapies. These therapies are often not fully covered by insurance, leaving families to cover substantial out-of-pocket expenses.

Educational Support: Specialized education programs tailored to meet the needs of children with autism can be expensive. This includes tuition for specialized schools or additional support services within mainstream educational settings.

Medical Care: Individuals with autism may have co-occurring medical conditions that require ongoing medical care, medications, and frequent doctor visits. These costs can strain a family's budget, especially if the necessary treatments are not fully covered by insurance.

Assistive Technology: Communication devices and other assistive technologies are essential for many children with autism to effectively communicate and navigate daily tasks. These devices can be costly, and not all families have the financial means to afford them.

By providing financial assistance and communication devices, we hope to help alleviate some of the financial burdens faced by these families, allowing them to focus on providing the best possible care and opportunities for their amazing children. Your support matters so much!

🌟🧩Welcome Kylie Tapp to Brayden's Gift! 🧩🌟

We are thrilled to announce that Kylie Tapp has joined our board! Kylie has been an incredible supporter of our cause, contributing to our gala, motorcycle run, and car show.

Kylie began her journey with Brayden's Gift after witnessing the transformative impact ABA therapy had on her 8-year-old son, Ezra. Seeing Ezra become more independent and find his voice inspired her to help other families receive the support they need.

Her dedication and passion bring hope and strength to our mission of providing financial assistance for children with autism to access essential therapies. We are excited to have Kylie on board and look forward to the positive changes we will achieve together!

Welcome, Kylie! 🎉

🧩 Understanding ABA Therapy: A Vital Resource for Children with Autism 🌟

At Brayden's Gift, we recognize the transformative impact of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children on the autism spectrum. ABA therapy is a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on improving specific behaviors, such as communication, social skills, and learning abilities.

Here's why ABA therapy is crucial:

Tailored Interventions: ABA therapy designs personalized interventions based on each child's unique needs and strengths, promoting individualized growth and development.

Skill Building: It helps children learn new skills and behaviors through positive reinforcement and systematic teaching methods, fostering independence and confidence.

Communication Support: For non-verbal children, ABA therapy can incorporate strategies to enhance communication skills, such as using communication devices or learning alternative communication methods.

Improving Social Interactions: By teaching social skills and appropriate behaviors, ABA therapy encourages meaningful interactions with peers and caregivers, promoting inclusivity and community engagement.

However, accessing ABA therapy can be financially challenging for many families. Brayden's Gift is committed to easing this burden by providing financial assistance for ABA therapy sessions and communication devices. Together, we can ensure that children with autism have the opportunity to receive the support they need to thrive.

Join us in our mission to empower families and promote the accessibility of essential therapies. Learn more about Brayden's Gift and how you can make a difference today! 💙

At Brayden's Gift, we are dedicated to making a meaningful impact in the lives of children with autism. Our non-profit organization focuses on providing crucial financial support that empowers these children to thrive and succeed on their journey.

Today is the day! We can't wait to see you all! Red River Harley-Davidson Texas Childrens Charity the The Crawfish Cowboy

Throwing it back to some awesome past bike runs as we gear up for our next one! 🏍️ Big thanks to Red River Harley-Davidson for hosting and sponsoring these past events and our upcoming event tomorrow. Your support means everything. Let's hit the road and make some new memories together!

Check out these pictures of our past bike runs and join us tomorrow, June 1st!

A huge shoutout to Texas Childrens Charity for their incredible partnership and support in the upcoming Red River Harley-Davidson bike run. It means the world to us. Together we're making a difference in children's lives. Thank you! 🏍🧩

Texas Childrens Charity started 10 years ago with their church group, collecting basic necessities and hygiene items for the homeless.

Five years ago, with another group, they collected items for a family that lost their home in a fire. That group then partnered with a company and raised enough money to buy enough bikes for almost 40 Children.

Since then they seek to provide a helping hand by providing children and their families with basic needs and gifts they would otherwise do without.

From feeding hungry families to giving a child a bike for Christmas, if a child or family has a need, TCC wants to help.

We can't thank you guys enough for what you do for the community.

✨Message from the Founder✨

Dear Friends,

I'm reaching out with a heart full of gratitude for your incredible support of Brayden's Gift and our annual bike run. Your commitment to this event touches me deeply, as I know firsthand the transformative impact it has on the lives of so many children.

When we first founded Brayden's Gift, it was a labor of love inspired by my family's own experiences and a desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of other families impacted by autism. But it's your unwavering support that has truly brought our mission to life, turning dreams into reality for countless kids.

Each year, as we gather for the bike run, I'm reminded of the power of community and the strength that comes from joining together for a common cause. Your generosity provides hope, joy, and a sense of belonging for children and their families who may be facing challenges that seem insurmountable.

So, as we prepare for another year of the bike run, I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your incredible kindness and generosity. Your support means more than words can express, and it's because of you that we're able to continue making a difference in the lives of so many children.

With deepest gratitude,
Shay

Brayden’s Gift extends a warm thank you to Lane Wakeland “The Crawfish Cowboy” for gracing our event with his delicious crawfish. Lane Wakeland, one of our esteemed sponsors for the “Ride for Autism” Bike and Car Ride, generously supported by Red River Harley Davidson!

🌟 Lane Wakeland 🌟

Originally hailing from South Texas, Lane's military service took him to Northwest Florida, where he developed a deep appreciation for Cajun cuisine. Inspired by lively crawfish boils with friends, Lane earned the nickname 'The Crawfish Cowboy.' His culinary journey led him to cater events, fundraisers, and even serve crawfish to country artist Zach Bryan and his band.

Now calling North Texas home, Lane continues to share his Cajun flavors in the Lone Star State, while his friend carries on the tradition in Florida.

Thank you, Lane, for your unwavering support and mouthwatering crawfish contributions! 🙌🦐 "
