Ok DU, check this out!

Now that you're here, I ask for a minute of your time. As some of you are aware, I've been trying to raise money for my service dog. I have posted on Facebook, Twitter, and spread the word to my friends and family. So far, I have raised $810, almost 1/3 of my fundraiser. I have signed my contract with the breeder and have payed $700 of the $1,200 owed for the dog. In addition, I have to pay over $2,000 for the service dog training.

Tomorrow is my doctor's appointment. They will be finalizing the paperwork for my SD trainer and everything will be ready to go, except the money. All I ask is for you to visit my link and read my story. If you feel compelled to donate, I thank you ahead of time! If not, I still thank you for taking the time to read about a very personal part of my life.

It is my hope that when I visit my doctor, I can show them that I have raised 1/3 of the money for my campaign. That means I need to raise just $190 before my appointment! Do you think we can make this happen? Thanks for reading!

I officially received my prescription for a Service Dog from my doctor today as well as documentation to cover it as an emotional support animal until it completes its service dog training. This was a huge step in my journey! I just wanted to share!

I just posted an update to include money orders that have been sent to help pay for the dog. If you have donated, you are already on my email mailing list. I had to edit due to one of the money orders account numbers not being blurred. Thank you all for your continued support as I work to raise the money for my service dog and its training!
