Other Notes: Matthias’ mom, Lisa, writes, “Matthias is a handsome, joyful 5 year old who loves to watch movies and play on the slide for hours. He also loves to have you read books to him.

Matthias was diagnosed with autism on October 13, 2006. At that time he had no speech at all and we immediately started doing lots of SPT [speech therapy], OT [occupational therapy], PT [physical therapy], AND MUSIC Therapy. Matthias also has many issues with his gut, and we have to take him regularly to see a Gastro Doctor here. He also as Sensory Integration Disorder which causes him to not sit still because he is constantly seeking that certain kind of input his brain is searching for.

As you can imagine, the past 3 years have been a journey and we had come a long way with his speech, but I truly believe that by using biomedical treatment my son will be able to be recovered. That is the reason we are seeking this kind of treatment.

He started taking Super Nu Thera 2 years ago, and started a Casein Free diet then also. The past 4 months he has been on a Gluten Free diet as well.

The reason I am in need of this loan is because in 2007 I had to quit my full time job to be able to care for my son and in doing so, this has taken away the opportunity to be able to provide large sums of money to be able to pay for biomedical treatment.

I want the lenders to know that Matthias is a true joy to have as my son, and I look forward to being able to see the progress he makes with biomedical treatment.”

Additional Notes: Lisa learned about Lend4Health through Facebook. She keeps a blog that talks about Matthias’ biomedical journey called “My Boys, My Greatest Gifts in Life.” Read it by clicking HERE.
