His future laid to rest in a Cadillac
RIP
RIP
Allison Forget,
just turned 3 years old
Daughter of Trevor and Kathleen Forget,
Rest in Peace, the future of this Sweet Angel,
You were always important to me.
You were always worth it.

Note: the children have not died. Katheleen obituary-like entry about her own children reflects how strongly she feels about the EIBI cuts - they are like a death sentence. Nathan is especially at risk as he has been diagnosed with severe autism.

Kathleen and Trevor,
What an impactful, powerful statement.
Autistic children currently in this program, on the waitlist to be in this program, or not even diagnosed yet, (ALL of whom need this program for a future with any hope of a quality of life that they are both entitled to and capable of having with this treatment) are having this essential service shut down on them, in light of being the ONLY scientifically proven treatment that WORKS!!....., are having their futures stolen from them. It is a living death sentence.
People may find this post morbid. Well, you know what? They SHOULD. OUR CHILDREN DESERVE A FUTURE!!!
With help, there IS hope.
She really is a Sweet Angel. I wish the current govt had the courage to look her in the face as they rip the hope from under her feet. She is JUST starting to respond too.
I am so sorry Allison. You derserved SO much better. So much more respect. You really had quite a future ahead of you. I wish you could have had this treatment for more than a handful of months.
