2016 is over, ending the campaign

Update posted by Libuse Foord

Hey everyone,

I somehow did not get to writing of too many updates on here. Time has passed so fast and the three months I originally raised the money for are over, well, were over one month and a half ago. I continue to raise money offline thanks to a foundation in the Czech Republic, and I am able to pay for Matt´s therapy, not only for the individual one, but also for the group OTA therapy (he attends every week).

We also go for speech therapy and craniosacral therapy. I do not think I have to explain it is simply tiring and I feel most of the time exhausted. Still, I know how lucky I am to be able to get all of this care for my son. I would like to thank again those three angels who helped in the first place. It was not just the money, it was hope you gave me, that things are possible, that I can do this, I can manage.

2016 was truly the hardest year of my life, not only because of the diagnosis of my son, which is at the moment clearer - "severe" autism (low-functioning) and mental retardation, but also on a personal level. It was a year of bad news, frustration, despair, isolation, fear, self-destructive thoughts and in the end, a year of friendship. It was those few who stuck around and helped me to overcome the painful situations of complete desolation.

I am ending the campaign today, as it clearly has no purpose at the moment, I manage to finance. Should you feel the need to follow our journey, connect with me on Instagram, where I post in IG stories quite often (libsfromneverland).

Happy 2017!

Liba
