Coach with Brain Injury needs a Service Dog

For 20 years my husband loved playing football. He was the field general at Quarterback. This 20 year journey brought him around the country and Europe but now he embarks on a different journey. One that is not as
glorious.

Tramatic brain injury from concussions and
symptoms of CTE have destroyed  memories and daily functions that you and I find easy. Everyday tasks  prove to be very difficult; getting around, self care, comfort, and anxiety overrule Bill daily. Balance is an issue, seizure like spasms are an issue, and trying to hold on to independence by going to a store alone is an issue. This is the what the beginning of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s and what it looks like  

we are reaching out to friends and family forhelp. This decision to reach out has not beendone in haste. We have researched many options (to which Bill does not qualify for)  and are in need of help. 

the way a service dog can help Bill would be walking, balance, seizures, self care, anxiety,, and most of all independence. Proceeds go to the dog, training, vet costs, and food. Training is estimated to be 18-24 months. Whatever money is left over will be donated
