Build a fence for Jack

Donation protected
Hi my name is John. I am trying to raise money to build a fence around our house to try and prevent my son his name is also John, from being able to run out into the street. JOHN III or 'Jack' as we call him to prevent confusion, just turned 6 and is non-verbal autistic. Jack has ALOT of energy and sometimes very hard to keep calm. Jack LOVES to be outside, and Jack is also very smart as well as sneaky. He can get past the locks, and doorknob covers and run right out the front or back door at any time. He's done so too many times to count. And everytime has come way to close to a serious accident. We are allowed to build a fence around the house we rent however, the cost of materials alone is more then we can afford, and still be able to pay our bills. So I'm trying to raise enough to put up a fence, to act as a bigger obstacle in order to keep him from running straight out in front of a car, or at very least slow him down so one of us can catch up to him. My hope is those who are willing will sign the inside of the gate, once it's finished, or I can put their name put on it, not only to credit all who donated, but mostly for Jack. Hes been making huge progess in therapy, improving his word structure more and more each day. Everytime he looks at it, he'll be able to see everyone's name, how they are all spelt, and I can pronounce them for him so he can see/hear the way different sounds are spelled out and Vice versa, and as he points them out, I know he'll say thank you in his own way.  I believe this will ENORMOUSLY help develop his speech and reading comprehension. Any and all donors If you would like to have your name put on the gate once finished, or if you would like to put it on in person please comment or message me. Thank you all for taking the time to read this, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND GOD BLESS!!
