Lucy's Service Dog Fund

Donation protected
Raising money for Lucy's hip  and skin treatment and for my medical expenses. Lucy is my natural medical alert dog that saves my life daily. We need financial help to ensure mine and Lucy's health.
Lucy was attacked by another dog off its leash and now requires extensive treatment and therapy for her hip. She also has a disease that effects her skin and we are searching for a specialist that can help define what we are dealing with. We also began this fund to help us afford the neccessary medical treatments to ensure our health and well being. This is taking over 100% of my earnings to achieve
I need Lucy because with her I am able to leave the house and go places because I know she will alert me if I need my medication or am going to have a seizure/cardio syncope episode or if my electrolytes get out of balance so I can get myself to safety and remedy the situation with the neccessary medical procedures.
Every since I had a terrible horseback riding accident that nearly took my life I have developed one issue after another. Apparently after a brain injury/concussion it rattles the pituitary gland so much that adenomas' develop on your master gland. This is what has happened with me and I continuously find new issues I must tackle. For instance it has shut off my ability to create sodium and potassium which is kinda important if you know your A&P. I've also developed Addison's disease and Lupus because of the treatments I was first placed on. So its things of that nature that Lucy can sense and communicate to me. She knows when I'm in need of taking my sodium, other medications or to give myself an ingection of solu-cortef. She tells me by pawing at me and attempting to lick my face or turning circles until I cooperate. If I am unable to communicate she will go beserk until she finds me help and we are working on her learning to dial on a special phone.
From what I have researched its something like only 17% of dogs have the ability to sense these things and only like 25% of those dogs have the ability to communicate it to you. So yeah, this was a gift from God to have Lucy.
Most people don't know these things about me because it was quite embarrassing to try to explain to people why I never went anywhere. Well now I don't have to worry because God has blessed me so incredibly!
Because of Lucy I have freedom! Please help me to raise some funds to help her because I need her so bad. This is the first time in my life I'm able to be on my own because of Lucy. Without her I must stay inside and monitor every second. With Lucy I actually know what it feels like to be near carefree. Thank you so much for helping Lucy and I keep our freedom and for helping us raise enough money to get Lucy's hip, skin and me completely healed. I appreciate you all. God bless abundantly!
