Your “Daily Dose of Uplift” for July 27th:
Luke Berridge has high functioning Autism, but his family says he suffers severe anxiety attacks that could be partially alleviated with a service dog.
The family decided to raise funds by baking and selling brownies. The outpouring of support from their community in Texas was immense, for it took just two weeks to raise almost $4,000.
“We weren’t expecting this kind of outpouring,” said Luke’s father, Todd. “We know we are in pretty dire straights at this time. We are all wearing masks and staying away from each other but my goodness this just proves if you have one thing happened good, everyone just wants to be apart of it. Some people donated their brownies and their money and said we’d like you to deliver it to Fire Station Number 5, the Odessa Police Department the Ector County Sheriff (office). Luke had a great time going to the police department, the sheriff department. So we’ve been doing all sorts of different things, it’s been great.”
