Brayden’s Gift

Our son, Brayden, was a healthy, joyful baby who met every milestone—until around his first birthday. We began noticing changes: he stopped babbling, became withdrawn, and lost skills he had already learned. After months of searching for answers, Brayden was diagnosed with autism at age three.

We struggled to find the right resources and therapies. Many programs simply weren’t equipped to help children like Brayden. That changed when we discovered Amarillo ABA Clinic, where a team of specialists created a personalized plan that transformed his life. Through consistent, compassionate support, Brayden has made incredible progress—he’s learning to communicate, gaining independence, and thriving in ways we once only dreamed possible.

Inspired by his journey, we founded Brayden’s Gift, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting families navigating autism by providing financial assistance for therapy and promoting community awareness.

During The Panhandle Gives, your support helps us continue filling in the missing pieces—one family, one child, one milestone at a time.

You are the missing piece.
