As most of our friends and family know, Luca finds school a struggle and only attends part time, in a room on his own with a 1 to 1 with very little interaction with other children which has caused him to become isolated and lonely.

Luca started attending Autism Angels a month ago and is absolutely thriving there, interacting with others and spending time with the animals. This is where Luca is at his best, so much so that he made the choice to attend alone without me, dad or Grandma staying with him which is a huge thing for him. Unfortunately Luca's days at this amazing place comes at a cost that has to be covered by ourselves.

Luca's amazing cousin Grace is going to undertake their charity sky dive on 28th June in the hope of raising some money towards ensuring Luca can continue to attend and have his happy place to look forward to at the end of each week.
