A child without a voice

Red is a small boy. He has apraxia. In simple terms apraxia, for one reason or another, messes with the connections that connect brain and voice. When I read about him I wanted to jump on a plane and go and rip someone's head off.
.
Why?
.
Red lives in Alabama. His health insurers have decided that he is not covered for therapy during the school breaks and his mum will have to pay for this service that is vital to his wellbeing and development. I was under the impression that we lived in a caring, sharing, rich, progressive society that nurtured its future generations. No?
.
This is close to my heart. I work with children who suffer from apraxia, dyspraxia, dyslexia and other speech related problems. Consistent therapy is VITAL at an early age.
.
Can we help?
Yes, by doing something that we love anyway - writing.
.
Wandering Author would like some help to produce a book of short stories on Lulu.com that will hopefully help towards the cost of Red getting what he needs. He may also need some help with legal stuff, artwork for the cover or general advice. If nothing more, then perhaps you could highlight this project on yer blog.
