We just received a status update on Josiah’s FREE iPad. In just 10 days he has received 53 orders towards the 60 he needs to win! We are so unbelievably excited and grateful! My heart is full. It’s amazing to me in such a short time there has been an overwhelming response to help my son.

I know Josiah will receive his new iPad in a short time now. It won’t be long before we cover it with an otter box which will render it virtually indestructible. The otter box manufacturers have never met the likes of Josiah, but I am reasonably sure it will help. Otter boxes are said to provide extreme protection. Extreme protection is what we will need.

Josiah does like to throw things. My hope is he will learn very quickly to cherish his new iPad. My prayer is he will learn very quickly it is meant to provide him a means for communication. My deepest wish is Josiah will be able to express his feelings with the touch of a few buttons. If he realizes the importance of the iPad, he will be much less likely to hurl it across the room.

Thank you to everyone who so generously supported us through this challenge. I am astounded we had such a quick response and are very near the finish line. Please be sure to let others who may have a child with Autism know about this amazing opportunity. It is available to them as well.

Others will undoubtedly notice your necklace or key chain and may ask about it. Use the opportunity to share about the Puzzling Piece iPad challenge. Be sure to pass on hope to other parents who may have a non verbal child. You may unknowingly be a huge blessing to a perfect stranger. You may have the opportunity to help a child share his thoughts and feelings for the very first time, ever. Who knows, you may be an answer to someone’s prayer and not even know it.

You have been an answer to mine! God Bless You!
