STUFF ABOUT ME:
Image One contributes a percentage of its profits to help raise awareness and funding for autism. Our mission is to contribute $1,000,000+ to autism.
Danielle Pearlman is 10 years old and has autism. She is the daughter of Image One CEO Joel Pearlman.
A STORY OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE:
It started with a feeling. A feeling only a parent understands; a feeling that something was not right with their child.
When Danielle Pearlman was about 20 months old, her parents noticed a change in her behavior - their beautiful baby didn’t meet their loving gaze; her development seemed different, more delayed, than other babies. At first, they thought she might have a hearing loss issue. After having her tested and evaluated, a diagnosis came back that confirmed that feeling – a diagnosis of autism.
Imagine what it must be like to be new parents and to receive a diagnosis that forever alters your dreams and hopes for your child. The range of emotions is overwhelming – denial, anger, loss, fear and grief. Danielle’s parents experienced all those emotions, and more, when they were given the news. Joel Pearlman, Danielle’s father, described the diagnosis as experiencing a kind of ‘death.’ But many parents of autistic children will tell you, there is another side to that diagnosis. There is the relief in knowing that that feeling has a name and while autism isn’t curable, there are supportive treatments that can allow your child to grow and thrive. Then there are the gifts, ones you don’t have to look very hard for. The gifts that are found in Danielle’s smile, her infectious laughter, her loving spirit, and the way her energy pulls you in the minute you enter the room.
About two years ago, someone close to Joel asked him a question:
What is Danielle here to teach you?
Joel didn’t have to think twice about the answer.
Unconditional love.
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:
BECAUSE... 1 in 110 children are diagnosed with autism. 67 children are diagnosed per day. A new case is diagnosed almost every 20 minutes. More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with AIDS, diabetes and cancer combined. Autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the U.S. Autism receives less than 5% of the research funding of many less prevalent diseases. There is no medical detection or cure for autism.

Hi! i love your projects, and i sent a vote your way :)
Please me help in my project.. Everyday more and more people are losing their homes, and their families in Pakistan because of flooding that is leaving some area s of Pakistan 12 feet underwater! 20 million people have been displaced from their homes, have lost their crops, and have lost numerous family members. Please, even a dollar will help these children who are drowning to death in pakistan! The devastation in this area is exceeding that of the Haiti quake, the Tsunami, and the Pakistan Quake all put together. They could use your help .. Thanks.
all proceeds will go to Unicef
PLUS, remember - by donating exactly $29, you could win an Apple iPad through Crowdrise!!! :)
