Any Baby Can San Antonio, which serves thousands of families with children and youth facing serious health or developmental challenges, is getting ready to host its biggest fundraiser of the year.
Abby Ekmark’s son Rudy Alejos was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, when he was three-years-old. She says she found guidance at the nonprofit.
“I always made sure he was sleeping or somewhere before I would go outside and do anything. I just remembered opening the door and seeing a fire and trying to get us out and I couldn’t and he passed away,” Ekmark said.The next few months were difficult, as Ekmark began recovering from burns all over her body. Although this was the hardest time of her life, she wanted to honor her son.
Rudy was honored at the 8th Annual Walk for Autism with the creation of Rudy’s playground, an area where all kids can play.“Since Abby has come forward and provided an eye opening experience for our families. We have changed a lot of what we have done to educate the families we have on safety,” Melanie Rios, director of programs at Any Baby Can San Antonio said.
