It has been a year of trying, searching, writing, applying, and hoping — all for one goal: to find the funds for ABA therapy for my son.
And yet, despite everything I’ve done, despite every door I’ve knocked on, I still haven’t managed to secure the support he needs.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m looking in the wrong places, or if I simply got lost in this huge, complicated system. I’ve reached out to charities, organizations, professionals, and programs. I’ve written letters, filled out forms, and explained our story more times than I can count. I’ve tried to stay strong, focused, and optimistic. But the truth is… nothing has worked so far.
And while time passes, Misha is still not speaking, not understanding, not communicating.
He is the sweetest soul, living in his own quiet world — and every day I wish I could give him the tools to connect with ours.
It’s heartbreaking to admit this publicly, but I’m sharing it because maybe someone out there has been through the same struggle. Maybe someone knows a direction I haven’t tried yet. Maybe someone understands how heavy it feels to fight so hard and still see no progress simply because therapy is out of reach financially.
I’m not giving up. I will never give up on my son.
But today, I’m simply being honest: I’m tired, I’m worried, and I’m searching for a way forward.
If you’ve walked this path, if you know resources, programs, foundations, or anything that could help — your guidance would mean the world to us.
For now, all I have is love for my child, determination, and hope that the right doors will eventually open.
