A T-Shirt Made Just For Me

A month or so ago a company named Sevenly reached out to me. Sevenly was founded in 2011 with the mission of leading a generation toward generosity. Based on a simple, core belief that ‘People Matter,’ the Sevenly team activated the now global ‘cause art’ movement and started creating 7-day cause campaigns, inviting customers to purchase “advocacy art, apparel and accessories” that donate to non-profits. Each campaign and every product would also create conversations.

For April they wanted to do a campaign around autism awareness and acceptance. They found my name. They found Finding Cooper’s Voice.

And just like that we worked together to create a campaign around our story. I want you to know that I jump at the change to spread autism awareness. I know the more I do, the more I advocate, the more I tell our story, the better this is going to get. The stares will stop. The judging will go away. Autism will no longer be a word that is feared.

So, with everything I do, I talk about hope. I talk about joy. I talk about how I have the coolest, smartest, most beautiful child…who happens to have autism.

Here is the shirt that I helped design!

And a few other fun pics. There are so many styles to choose from. They sent shirts for our whole family.
