For Dominic Rivers, the owner of Doms Mattress Store, this cause is especially close to his heart. ❤️ His daughter, Alivia, was diagnosed with autism when she was just 2 years old. Dominic and his wife Serena have been through a challenging but beautiful journey with Alivia. Serena first noticed that Alivia wasn't talking when she was supposed to and exhibited other behaviors like spinning in circles, lining up her toys, walking on tiptoes, and being very picky about eating. 🧀

After extensive online research, 🧐 Dominic and Serena decided to have Alivia evaluated by a neurologist, where they received the official diagnosis. Initially, Dominic was in denial, but Serena knew something wasn't right. Today, Alivia has made great progress with therapy, educational videos, games, and the support of her family. 🏠 Her communication skills have improved, and her parents work tirelessly every day as a team 👫 to help Alivia become the best version of herself.

Dominic and Serena realize that there is no cure for autism. They understand that autism is not a disease, but rather a difference in how people's brains operate. 🧠 They see Alivia's mind as beautiful and unique. When Alivia was younger, Dominic and Serena applied for social security disability benefits to help with her care. Unfortunately, they were denied, which was devastating as they didn't have much income and wanted Alivia to have all the resources she needed. However, through faith and perseverance, they have found ways to provide for Alivia, and things are getting better every day. ☀️
