Help Iraq Vet Get PTSD Therapy Dog
Donation protected
My name is Gregory and I’m an Iraq War Veteran. I’m starting this campaign to help raise funds for a PTSD therapy dog I desperately need. I’m working locally with ECAD ( https://www.ecad1.org) to help pair me with the right dog. The money will go to training and care for the dogs that go through their program, one of which will eventually be paired with me.
For years after I served I have suffered from night terrors that leave me incapacitated for days after. I’m on disability because of my posttraumatic stress and have not ben able to work for some time now. A therapy dog would be able to wake me up if I’m have a night terror and comfort me. They would be my companion and help me get around the city or other stressful situations.
I would have a best friend that I would need to feed, walk and love. Doing this will be a therapy in itself as I sometimes have a difficult time leaving my room. They could block certain triggers when I’m out in public. The sooner I can raise the funds and pay for my dog, the sooner I will be able to start living a normal life.
I’m not the type of person who likes asking for help but I will do everything in my power to pay it forward and raise funds for a therapy dog for as many Veterans as possible. I would be so thankful to anyone who could donate any amount to this cause.
