Ability/Service Dog for Emory
Donation protected
My name is Meg Krenn and my daughter, Emory, suffers from a rare disorder call Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC) which causes her to have episodes of paralysis. In addition to AHC, she also suffers from seizures. AHC is a condition that will effect Emory her entire life. She is unstable when walking, primarily communicates without using words, and suffers from attacks of AHC. Despite these limitations, Emory is highly motivated to be independent, she is a social butterfly, and she almost always has a smile on her face! She is my hero!
Emory has been experiencing more seizures. She has been known to escape and walk away from our home and recently escaped a near drowning event. These experiences could have been prevented or lessened with the assistance of a service dog.
4 Paws for Ability is an organization that uniquely trains each dog according to the child's disability. As you can imagine, the training and cost of the dog is not covered by insurance. All proceeds raised will go directly to purchasing the service dog and training our family to care for the dog. 4 Paws for Ability will not start training a dog for Emory until all funding is complete. For this reason, we need your help! It is crucial to Emory's safety and independence to have a companion and guard for her.
Any parent wants to feel like they can keep their child safe, however, that has proved more difficult with Emory. Four ambulance rides, several hospital admissions, and countless hours of stress and anxiety as a parent would all be eased with the presence of a service dog in our life. Thank you for helping us to keep Emory a safe and happy little girl (and giving her parents some peace of mind)!
