The HEAL Foundation Inc.

Leslie and Bobby Weed founded the HEAL Foundation in 2007. Their daughter, Lanier, is profoundly affected by autism and nonverbal. They wanted to do their part to help others living with autism in Northeast Florida. HEAL provides grants and resources to organizations, camps, and schools serving those with Autism Spectrum Disorders in Northeast Florida. In the last decade, HEAL has contributed approximately $2 million in support of our local autism community. The funds raised for HEAL, stay here to support organizations in our community…the First Coast. HEAL serves the Northeast Florida counties of Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau, and St. Johns. After witnessing the progress students with autism are making with iPads, HEAL has gifted 400 iPads to local Exceptional Student Education (ESE) classrooms through the iHEAL – iPads Helping Enrich Autistic Lives initiative. HEAL’s next initiative is to gift five ALL ABILITIES parks to ensure people of all abilities are able to play, learn, socialize and have fun in our community!
