Please help me get a Diabetic alert dog!

Donation protected

Hi everyone! My name is Alex and I am 18 years old.  I am still in high school and unable to currently work due to my disability.   I have type 1 diabetes, diagnosed at age 8, and also suffer with depression and anxiety.  I am in the process of being matched with the dog pictured through the company Handi-dogs, Inc.   His name is Morgan and he is 14 months old currently.   Once I get him from the foster family we will train him to pass his CGC (Canine Good Citizen) and then how to alert me to my disabilities.   I cannot recognize when my sugars dive extremely low or raise so high that I can go into DKA, where my organs will start to shut down and can slip into a coma if I am asleep.  Morgan will help me with these things and more.   He will also motivate me to get out of the house on my own.  This will give my parents a break so they can relax instead of constantly monitoring my CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) to make sure I am okay when out of sight but at home too.  Morgan will provide me freedom that I am not comfortable taking currently and I am asking for your help to allow me to get Morgan and get him trained through Handi-dogs Inc.  Any help is appreciated, even if it is to just share this page and asking others to share as well.  Thank you in advance for all help!!!
