An Autistic Kid Who Needs Our Help to Survive

Massiah s Fundraiser: Massiah is an autistic kid living in section 8 housing with his single mom named Takesha. They live in a crowded building with shared walls in every direction. Neighbors constantly complain about Massiah being loud, calling him a bad kid. Takesha tries to appease her neighbors by preventing Massiah s stimming, but this often results in selfinjurious behaviors. Takesha wants others to know that autistic children exist in lowincome neighborhoods, and they aren t bad kids.
