Courage For Connor

Help Connor Get a Service Dog

Your donation gives Connor a chance at greater independence, safety, and the constant companionship he deserves.

Connor’s story is one of quiet strength and remarkable resilience. Born full-term but weighing just 3 pounds, his parents were told he would be stillborn or pass shortly after birth. But Connor had other plans. Now 12 years old, Connor lives with microcephaly, cognitive and speech delays, eating challenges, sensory processing disorder, autism, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. After years of searching for answers, he was recently diagnosed with a mutation in the RTTN gene—a condition so rare that only a few dozen children in the world have been identified with it. His life expectancy remains unknown. Connor often feels isolated and struggles to connect with peers. The world can be overwhelming, and it’s easy for him to feel alone in it. But he finds comfort in the things he loves: drawing, animals, and playing Roblox games. A service dog won’t just help with daily tasks—it will be a loyal friend, a calming presence, and a bridge to connection in a life that’s often filled with challenges

We are raising money for Connor to have a service dog planned just for him.
