Please help us give children with Autism a chance.
For Jake’s Sake is a non-profit, created to raise money and provide the ability for autistic children to access effective therapies they otherwise could not afford. Children with autism need certain therapies to overcome their symptoms, yet schools and health insurance providers may not provide access or adequate services to meet the child’s needs. We will provide qualifying families the funding to obtain effective therapy – because every child deserves the chance to realize their full potential.
Founded in 2008 by Dawn Cobak and other concerned parents and professionals, For Jake’s Sake aims to offer financial assistance to qualified families. We strive to ensure that no child is turned away, however our abilities will rely on our funding. For Jake’s Sake is a 501(c)(3) organization relying on the generosity of corporations, foundations and individuals to fund our mission. Your support allows for the providing of funding for programs that develop essential skills for children with disabilities. 100% of your donation will go directly to a child with autism in need of services.
