The HEAL Foundation was founded in 2004 by Bobby and Leslie Weed in collaboration with noted local pediatrician Julie Buckley, MD, all parents of daughters with Autism. The foundation is dedicated to assisting  individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders living in the greater Jacksonville Area.

Tragically, Autism Spectrum Disorders now affect 1 in 91 children today.  Since its inception, HEAL has raised more than $1 million to serve the hundreds of local families and individuals affected by Autism. These funds allow HEAL to disburse, grants that help support camps, educational programs, community projects and financial aid for families in the Jacksonville Florida area. Ultimately, HEAL's goal is to generate enough funding to build HEAL House, a refuge where therapeutic programs and services can be offered under one roof.

Below are some services and programs that HEAL facilitates:

• HEALing Families - Support groups for families
• HEALing Hands - financial aid for medical care
• Educational seminars for parents, teachers and therapists
• Recreational and social events for families
• Awards grants (word "grants" takes you to the grant page) to support camps, education, community programs and financial aid
• HEAL monthly e-newsletter
• HEAL Web site - links and calendar of community of events
