Unfortunately, we are involved as defendants in a lawsuit that is attempting to declare my son, Ezekiel, "ZEEK", as a public nuisance due to his vocal stimming sounds made playing in a backyard. A petition has been created on our behalf, and we would appreciate if you would help sign and share it. Links to our news articles about our case are below, as well as the link to our petition. This has been a very challenging time for myself and my family. The outpour of support from the community and kindness from complete strangers has really helped me navigate this time emotionally. I am grateful to everyone who has offered words of encouragement, purchased a book, and signed our petition.
Thank you!
