My name is Austin Loupe, and  I am 7 years old.  I suffer from a syndrome called Prader-Willi Syndrome.  It is very difficult for me to be around food.  My brain doesn't tell my stomach I am full so I could literally eat myself to death.  My dad and mom have locks on the refrigerator and panty to keep me safe.  I get very frustrated a lot since my speech is hard to understand.  I wish I could talk better for people to understand me.  I have tantrums that I can't control, and I wish more people would understand it is not my fault, and I am not  just being BAD!  My dad and mom try to do everything they can to help me feel secure around food.  Even though I may not always try to take your food away or you think food doesn't bother me when I see other people eating in front of me, it really does make me anxious and then the tantrums will start maybe not right away but they always do.  I constantly think about food.  I can't help it!   Will you please help me and my friends who suffer with prader-willi syndrome.  You could donate on my page.  One Small step is coming up real soon.  Please join us in our fight to find a cure for some of these horrible issues we have to live with 24 hours a day.  Thank you for your support

Love,
Austin Loupe
