Meet Rylin and Raymond

Four year old Raymond, or “Bear,” is full of life! He has a huge personality in a little body. He is very affectionate and always wants to make people laugh. He loves everything related to animals and talks about them frequently. His brother, Rylin, is three years old. He is non-verbal but is very expressive with his facial expressions and actions. He is the baby of the family and loves being the center of attention. You can always find him with something yellow in his hand - his favorite color!

Both boys have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and developmental delays. They both experience trouble sleeping and elope from the home at night despite door alarms and cameras. They have been found outside on a neighbor’s property in the middle of the night.

The family approached the Love Fund for two Cubby Safety Beds, one for each child. The Cubby Bed allows the guardian to secure Raymond and Rylin when it’s time for bed. It is FDA approved to protect against elopement and entrapment.

The Love Fund partnered with the Chickasaw Nation Department of Administration and Variety KC to fund the brothers’ beds. Thank you for providing improved sleep and nighttime safety for the boys for many years to come!
