How you can help


Elija is a Non for Profit Organization that works completely voluntarily. It is run by 2 parents of whose families have been touched by autism.   We are completely driven with the passion and dedication to disseminate information and training through workshops or consults given by prominent figures in the field of Autism. We do not believe that speaker fees or effective presentation costs should be an obstacle in educating the parents, professionals or caregivers of children with autism with valuable information.

Have comfort in knowing that your proceeds go directly towards the costs of educating those who deal directly with the autism community. Many organizations are doing a fine job funding monies to research, searching for "A Cure", and until that day unfolds, we have an extreme challenge on our hands. Our children are here now , they are disabled , and they can and need to be educated.

We need your help and support to get more effectively trained individuals into our homes and schools. Many of our children have a fighting chance to live a more fulfilling and independent life. We need to put them into the hands of very effective teachers, environments and supervision in order to make this possibility promising.  Our children can thrive and become contributing members back to their community who is so generously giving to them now. When given the optimal education from the start, they have very promising futures.

So until there is a cure for Autism, our only means of effectively treating them now is through educating them. Arming them with skills that are academically, behaviorally ,emotionally and socially inclined. We ask for your help and support by making your donation to help make our mission a reality. To offer ongoing trainings to schools, parents and educators in the most effective procedures in teaching our children language, appropriate behaviors, self help and many other life changing skills.

Our major source of income is from your donations and contributions. Your help will enhance the lives of our children, their educators and their families. We thank you for your support and be confident that your support is enriching the lives of individuals affected with the un biased, mysterious and painful disability of Autism.

Warmest Regards,
Debora & Nicole
Founders of The Elija Foundation
