EARTHLY ANGELS AUTISM FUND
of the Luzerne Foundation

"Continuously working to provide help and support to local autistic children"

Welcome to the website of the Earthly Angels Autism Fund of the Luzerne Foundation. Ron and Brenda D'Eliseo started this Autism Fund in 2001 to honor their son Robert, who has autism, and to help other families facing childhood autism through support services and education. As parents and having experienced the heartbreak and confusion that accompanies Autism, they decided to turn this tragedy into something worthwhile. Having a child diagnosed as autistic enables them to reach out to many local families in a knowing and caring way. Their goal is to find ways to help the lives of Autistic children and their families. It is their hope that this site will provide you with a point of reference and resources that will assist you in your personal journey.

Our MISSION is to educate the public regarding autism and its behaviors and provide funding to qualified nonprofit organizations for autistic services, support programs and education; and to bring hope to those families who deal with the hardships of this disorder

Thanks to the continued support from our personal and corporate sponsors and the local community, our fundraising efforts have been very successful. Since the Fund's inception, 2001, the Earthly Angels Autism Fund has donated in excess of $93,000 to local non-profit organizations to benefit autistic children!
