Does anyone possibly have a newer iPad available that they could donate to a family that has autistic child?
We have checked several places and have been unable to find one suitable for his needs.
This family simply cannot afford a new iPad and every since the stay at home was asked of us and no school anymore the iPad they did have was a lifesaver however it was a first gen and it was not updating anymore and was on its last legs. It finally conked out.
If anyone has one they could donate or for a reasonable price, please DM for more info. We are looking for a newish iPad thats a newer version so it would be compatible to all the necessary apps this young man would need for his special needs. We are looking for a 64G or higher.
So we had a private donor donate towards this. We now only have to raise $625.00 and we will be able to have enough for a new iPad Pro! If you can help please do!!
Is there anyone who can help with $500.00? That’s all we need to get this iPad for this young man!

I have an emergency that I would like my Twitter Family's #Help with.
I am worried about my friend Jenn and her co workers that run @HarvestHillsYYC.
They have run themselves ragged and need help.
(1)
There's a reason why Jenn and the team have not posted or shared a lot lately on their social media accounts.
She is probably going to kill me for doing this (RIP @Hell_Berta)......but I need to do something for them. I can't sit back and watch them burn themselves out.
As everyone knows, Jenn was in a car accident in Dec. and she was hurt pretty bad. I am talking grade 3 concussion bad and really really bad whiplash and other injuries.
She is at home recovering and her fellow board members and dedicated volunteers have picked up and helped.
If you can help @HarvestHillsYYC Please do. They're unfairly being targeted by UCP Conservative Party Trolls & are being harassed by people who are going after their organization.
They've even gone as far as demanding Jenn retract any & all statements she made in regards to being critical of the current Alberta Government.
We are indeed dealing with a cruel & heartless government.
These EVERYDAY heroes, are the very people that are stepping up & filling the GAP that our government is refusing to fill.
The @Alberta_UCP can't see the damage that is being done to the province that I & others love so much. From Doctors to Parks, Everything is being attacked.
This is Cara's Story. **Names have been changed upon request and for protection**
Cara has gone through a lot as a child. Growing up she had difficulties in coping with traumatic experiences that she and her other family members both lived with and went through.
Ever since she was on AISH, Cara and others we have talked to all recognized that all the AISH workers that our daughter and others have had to work with have always reinforced to their clients the lifelong message that many clients were unworthy of support, care & medical care.
Cara and her sister grew up in a home that had a mother with serious mental health diagnoses as well as an alcoholic father who left when Cara was 9 and her sister was 6.
*Husband after a night out drinking with friends. He caught an @Uber home*
Hubby: (wakes me up when he comes into the room wanting to give me a kiss before he goes to his side of the bed, only to step on the cats tail which sets a whole shitshow into motion)
Manages to go to his side of the bed and lays down only to giggle like a school kid passing gas in class for absolutely no reason.
When asked why he was giggling he looked at me and said I farted and it was silent but it’s deadly cause I ate an onion and bean dip at Rogers.
He then continued to giggle for a solid ten minutes.
Once he settled down he got undressed and comfortable and then promptly fell asleep.
You’d think it stops there but ooooooo no. It gets worse.
This is what happened when I got home tonight. I cried. I cried at work yesterday. I also cried 3 different times last night after getting home from work.
I am an Office Administrator at an elementary school and this is how my day has gone. I'm crying because the work and expectations that have been put upon us with the added ridiculous time frames are overwhelming.
I'm crying because I am having to answer the phone and hear the concerns and frustrations of parents who are upset at the policies put in place to protect their children while they are at school.
Yes I am still feeling sick. Yes I am still in iso. My hubby was kind enough to let me sit in his truck while he worked on it in the driveway! He said that way he can keep an eye on me and stop me from anymore online shopping!
