Guest guest Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 I have posted this on the another list and thought I did here but apparently did not. I will paste the SOS i sent to the other list and really hope you can help. Basically my dad who has the Cape Girardeau based foundation Ethan and Friends for autism is going to have personalized plates that have already been designed that say Understand Autism! The entire design is awesome and I can send it to you if you want. Please read the details and help him so he can help you!!! In order to do this he has to have $5000.00 and names of 250 interested persons to send into tAs you have been reading the foundation Ethan and Friends for Autism started by Mike Sciortino of Cape Girardeau is at their deadline for getting their money and applications in to have personalized plates for all to see that say Understand Autism! The design is done and is awesome! They have 120 paid applicants and many more than this that have said they wanted a plate. In order to get the Missouri license bureau to start the process of having plates available to you for your car they need $5000.00 and names of 250 people who are interested. So they want money and your name. In order to raise the money my father, Mike Sciortino, and his group came up with the idea that the 250 people who want their names on the list (meaning they want a plate when available) would send him $20 and this would get them to the $5000.00 mark. The state must have both your name that you will want a plate once it is done as well as this huge amount of money just to get it started. The $20 you send now will go toward the $35 it costs for the actual plate. It is slightly more than a personalized plate but you will renew it the same as you would any license plate. when license plates are renewed after this current process is over, the money will start to accumulate and will go out into the community to help kids with autism. It is a fundraiser that has worked well in other states as well as missouri, but nobody has been able to get it done in a way that would help our kids. Mike, my dad is going to do it! The SOS I am re- sending here is because my dad only has $1500.00 and still needs many more names. Mostly needs the money. He is going to put up the rest of the money himself which I do not want him to do. So please if you want a plate send him $20, so that he does not go into debt to do what nobody has been able to do. This man and his foundation are going to go places nobody else has to so please help them in any way you can so that he can eventually help you. If my dad could help you in any way today, he would. He is the most giving person you will ever meet. He has spent every day of his life doing for others and now wants to give back to families dealing with what he has seen me and my family go through. He must get application, names and money into the state by June 30 so please help now. Even if you get your money in late your payment of $20 toward your $35 plate will put the investment my dad has made back into his savings (his retirement) and you will still get a plate!
