PTSD Support Dog & Training

My name is Kat and for the past few years I have been living with the effects of having Complex PTSD. On a daily basis I suffer with up to 30+ flashbacks of trauma and abuse everyday. I have tried several therapies, and although I have come to terms with my illness, it makes my daily life incredibly difficult. My complex PTSD started in 2015 after 4 years of homelessness and sleeping rough, during that time I suffered abuse which I am forced to 're-live' everyday due to my condition. Recently I was told I was the perfect candidate to get a support dog, they are trained to detect when I am having a flashback and can nudge me to bring me out of it. The support dog will also provide me with the support I need when in busy areas or when someone unexpectedly comes up behind me. Currently the above causes me great distress and it can be difficult to explain to others as I otherwise appear to be a healthy happy adult. In the UK the only people who can get financial assistance for support dogs for PTSD are army veterans. I do not fit into this category and it would be impossible for me to save enough money to pay for a dog and the extensive training they would require. If you can give anything towards my cause I can promise that it would drastically improve my quality of life, and promise that anyone who can give anything towards this fund can meet me and my future support dog to get a personal thank you!
