Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that typically lasts throughout a person's lifetime. It is part of a group of disorders known as autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Today, 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined. It occurs in all racial, ethnic, and social groups and is four times more likely to strike boys than girls. Autism impairs a person's ability to communicate and relate to others. It is also associated with rigid routines and repetitive behaviors, such as obsessively arranging objects or following very specific routines. Symptoms can range from very mild to quite severe.

Rev. Timothy Wright wants nothing less than to return to the pulpit after being injured in a July 4 car accident.

Rev. Wright was joined by the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Hello my name is Laurie Schneider, and I would like to inform everyone of the unfortunate condition of Timothy Wright.

Timothy Wright has a c4 Spinal Cord Injury. For anyone who does not understand this condition, I will explain it as best I can and then send you to a web site to read further. Right now Timothy Wright is able to breathe with the assistance of a respirator. Although on good days he is able to speak and breathe on his own for short periods of time, he is also able to move his neck and shrug his shoulders. He does have feeling in his hands as well, according to his son Derrick, as he has woken him up a few times by holding his hand. I truly believe with the proper rehabilitation, Rev Timothy Wright will be able to Preach, Breathe on his own, sing, and continue to change the world as he did until July 4th, 2008.

Unfortunately he does not have the proper health benefits for the best health care. The (3) best Rehabilitation Centers in the World, and (2) best in the Country happen to be in New Jersey called the Kessler Institute in West Orange New Jersey. Christopher Reeves was a null-null patient when he entered along with several other patients whom left as a null-5-6-null. WE NEED TIMOTHY WRIGHT TO BREATHE ON HIS OWN. WE NEED HIM TO HAVE THE BEST HEALTH CARE. All he is eligible for is a VA Hospital. After I spoke with all 3 VA Hospitals in NY, I was convinced he would not receive the same care. Both Directors, and nurses responded to me by saying many people die here and never walk or use their arms again. When I spoke to Kessler, and did a site inspection, I saw Billions of dollars of equipment and machinery. I met and spoke wi th the best Doctors in the Country. They gave me null of hope. I believe his only chance to ever stand, sing, and speak in his Church again, is if we send him to Kessler.

The cost of Kessler is exactly $4,033.00 per day. The cost of the ambulance and Respiratory therapist to drive with him there is $3,725.00. They are predicting the Rev. will be able to breathe on his own, and operate an electric wheel chair which will cost $20,000.00 at the end of his treatment at Kessler. I am told the best scenario will be (4) months. At the rate of $4,033.00 per day, we will need to raise, $120,990.00 per month/(30 days).

We are praying to raise $70,000.00 during the concert at the end of August. I have a credit card with a high limit that I am going to use so that he can be admitted tomorrow. My credit card will get him through the first week, and the ambulance which I am giving $31,956.00. I have paid for the hotel rooms for his sons to stay with him, and food for his grandchildren. I took care of the limos and food during and after the funeral. I am willing to put all of his sons to work, so they can continue to pay there bills. I am willing to buy back his escalade I sold to them and send that money to Kessler as well. I can only afford to keep him at Kessler for ONE WEEK. I am only one person. I am going to host a fundraiser within the next 4-6 weeks, and pray to raise another $100,000.00. I need help from everyone who can and is willing.

I cant stress to you how important it is to his sons that he has the best medical care possible. I just met Derrick three years ago, and soon after all of his brothers. I was blessed in the past two months to meet, speak with, spend time with both Timothy & Betty Wright. In the short time I knew them, they very inspirational to me.
I am giving 25% of my life savings so that Rev. Timothy Wright can be both transferred and admitted to the best medical facility Tomorrow.

He will be arriving by 12 noon tomorrow July null. I have (7) days to raise the balance of the thirty days or he will be transferred to a VA Hospital.

I am asking from the bottom of my heart, along with Danny, Donny, David, Derrick and null, their wives and children to please help us keep Rev Timothy Wright at The Kessler Institute, and most important to continue to keep him in your prayers every day.
