LifePROTEKT Launches New Campaign Against Wandering

July 13, 2010 - PRLog -- We at LifePROTEKT understand the financial demands that families with special needs loved ones, such as autism, face each day. We also know that one of the number one concerns of caregivers is the fear of their child or loved one wandering.

The National Autism Association recently conducted a survey and reported that 92% of parents reported their children have the potential to wander. We know that parents of children with autism or other cognitive disabilities are often forced to choose certain therapies or treatments in lieu of others because of financial constraints electing those they feel most important to their child. We know that the threat of death as a result of wandering is a very real risk for all individuals that may wander. We read about, write about and pray for those special needs individuals each time another one goes missing.

Lou Giuffre, President of LifePROTEKT said, "The ability to PROACTIVELY locate an individual that wanders off accidently or unlawfully is abducted is an incredible benefit with this technology. We are absolutely delighted that we were able to help families that have wandering children. As in the case of Nadia Bloom, we wanted to demonstrate our Lok8u device as it provides incredible value to the families that may be in need. The key driver for us is to prevent an alternative ending for the many families who face this terrible kind of wandering event as we are making the caregivers aware of the advanced technology products now available to assist them in keeping their loved ones safe.”

LifePROTEKT wants to help parents and caregivers anyway possible to do something more than pray that their children or loved ones do not become lost, or God forbid, die because they manage to wander into harm’s way. That is why we have started our "Anti-Wandering Campaign" and are offering a special discount to anyone who has a family member or loved one in the autism or special needs community. We will provide a discount for anyone in this community who may need a personal Location based GPS device. Also please remember that a portion of the proceeds from your purchase will be donated to Autism Speaks, TACA, Autism Society of America or The Alzheimers Association. This is only one of the things LifePROTEKT is doing to help keep these individuals from befalling tragedy. If interested simply go to the comments section of this link: http://www.lifeprotekt.com/campaign-against-wandering/. Please provide your email, write the word ‘AWC’ in the comment screen and which charity we will donate to and then we will send you the appropriate coupon code. We hope that this will help to enable more individuals to become protected by personal GPS devices; know where they are, know they are safe!
