I’m hoping you will print this to get the word out about JACK (Justice for Autism with Community and Kindness). It is a residential facility that a group of people are trying to start in the Ellsworth area.

There isn’t any place equipped to deal with these children in Maine, consequently a lot have to be sent out of state.

With the cost of gas prices and the traveling conditions in the winter we very seldom get to see our children.

I’m sure everyone can imagine how horrid it is not to have a child at home to hug and kiss.

We’ve got as far as being classified as a nonprofit organization.

If anyone is interested, the Web site is www.jacksfriends.org.
