<div>Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Snowy Pines Paws for Purpose, for our sons Cardiac Alert Service dog  and any donation will help go towards the total of the dog.

<div>Our 12 year old son Christopher has had heart issues since he was born. He was born with transposition of the great arteries. He had open heart surgery at 4 days old to correct his heart. Fast forward to last year 2023, our son’s heart has many problems with it. We found out that he will need another heart surgery in the future. The arteries they switched at birth are very narrow. We knew that in the future they would have to fix that issue with stents to help keep them from closing. But, never would we have imagined the other problems that also would have developed. There is a hole in between the top two chamber that is a decent size, this is causing blood to be pushed to the left side of his heart everytime it pumps. From the heart having to work so hard to get rid of the extra blood on the left side, his heart has started to swell. Also on the same chamber he has an aortic aneurysm. Now this is the biggest issue to date. If that were to explode, there is a high chance he won’t make it through.  Also have an aortic valve leak which has gotten much worse the more the time goes on. Because of all the issues our son has gone from a happy, running around kid to a kid that all he wants to do is lay around. The doctors won’t fix him until he is sicker. (Don’t understand that) We have to watch our son go from a regular kid to a kid that won’t even be able to get out of bed. So as a parent you try everything you can to help with the burden an pain our kids go through! 

</div>


<div>   With all of this going on it has raised our stress level to max. Our son is scared something is gonna happen to him. He lives everyday in pain an worry. After much research on how to help him, we found Snowy White Pines, they birth, raise a train Cardiac Alert Service Dog. A Cardiac Alert Service dog  would Alert us to any changes in his heart or blood pressure. This would allow us the chance to get him the help he needs before he even feels the pain from his heart. With the aneurysm he has he has a high chance of it exploding, if that happens it would be detrimental. The dog would allow us to know the change before that happens. It would also allow Chris an us as parents to relax a little bit. Haven’t got much sleep since we found out.  The dog would go everywhere with him including school.  So we could worry just a tiny bit less. The dogs name is Atlas, he should be available August of 2025. He is currently in training.

<div>    The total of the dog is $50,000, we never thought it would be that much. But the training that goes into the dog is long a they have to come out perfect to pass. So we are asking for help in raising the funds we need to help our son.  This Go Fund me is linked directly to Snowy Pines. Also if you donated you get a tax deductible receipt.

<div>     Our family wants to thank you for taking the time to read our story. It means more to us than we can ever say. God Bless

<div>**Little back story in 2010 I had a daughter named Savanna Mae, she was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (she was born without the left side of her heart) she was also 10 weeks premature. They did heart surgery but unfortunately her little body could not take a huge surgery being so little. She was born April 7,2010 an she passed alway April 25,2010. Losing a child is the hardest thing anyone can go through. So the thought of losing another is unbelievable. She would be 14 if she was still on this earth. The best part is Chris was born on the day she was due! Like she was giving her brother to me!
