Harper-Lyn's Story

We at Jacob Beachy Fund are so touched by Harper-Lyn's generosity. As we follow her journey, our hearts are lifted by her amazing triumphs and beautiful spirit. We're humbly grateful to have helped. If you've donated to Jacob's Fund, please know that you have made a very real difference in a child's life.

When I look back on the toughest years of motherhood I think of 2014-2016. It was the onset of our Autism journey and I felt like I was on auto-pilot the entire time.

Despite the challenges of those early years, we were blessed. Harper-Lynn started multiple early intervention therapies including hippotherapy through her occupational therapist. While insurance covered her therapies, hippotherapy was not covered.

In the fall of 2014, Harper-Lynn was chosen by the Jacob Beachy Fund to receive a scholarship that covered 100% of her hippotherapy fees.

We met her benefactors Glenna Fisher and Bernie Fisher the next year and have stayed in touch since through Facebook.

Earlier this evening Harper-Lynn and I were talking about her upcoming book release. She asked me if I thought we could donate some of the money she makes from the book to the Jacob Beachy Fund. I told her absolutely! She said it would be a full circle moment where she could give back to the foundation that gave so much to her. I was pretty much speechless.

I am so proud of Harper-Lynn. Her journey has not been an easy one. I'm so grateful for the giving heart she has and how she'll be able to help other children on the Autism Spectrum have access to this incredible therapy.

When her book is released next month, I hope you'll feel led to buy a copy to support her in her writing career and efforts to help other children on the Autism Spectrum.
