Service dog
Donation protected
Hello. I am here to raise money to get a service dog. I’ll tell you a little bit about me. I have been diagnosed with PTSD about a year ago but I have been suffering for about 2 years. I have spoken to my doctor and we both agree that a service dog is the best route to recovery.
I am in pain every single day. I have a battle in my head wondering if my life is worth the trouble. I’ve noticed that having a companion really helps and having a dog that is trained to specifically help for my needs would change my life entirely. I have an entire list of tasks my service dog would do if I am able to get one. These tasks would help improve my quality of life and give me my independence back.
Ive dealt with some very traumatic events involving an nasty man that still walks free today. This person sexually assaulted me numerous times and beat me everyday. I was a helpless 16 year old at the time believing his threats. I was kept in a tree Fort through winter months and I was considered a missing person to my community. I barely ate food, only what was given to me by HIM. I grew very skinny and fragile. He manipulated me and severely hurt me for months. This time in my life I was a victim of abuse, a victim of this nasty predator that had no good intentions. He took me away from my family but thankfully I had a break and escaped his trap. My father found me and the next day brought me to another province. I went from Ontario to PEI in less then 24 hours. It was a drastic change. Very shocking. But I was so thankful to be away from the nasty person.
I am now almost 19 years old and back in Ontario and I still struggle with what has happened to me. I now know I’m no longer a victim I’m a survivor of what has happened.
If I am able to save up for a service dog I would be able to go out in public and have less of a fear. I currently cannot leave my house unless my mom is by my side. I’m afraid of being attacked. I would have my SD be able to wake me from having night terrors, as these happen frequently and makes it hard to get out of bed the next day. I would have my SD be trained in deep pressure therapy and help me during panic attacks as these also happens frequently and happen without notice. If I am able to get an SD I would most likely be able to work, as currently I cannot work and it makes me furious. I’m currently researching more things I would like my SD to help me with but those are the main issues I am dealing with daily.
Im asking for help because I don’t want to be stuck like this forever. I am getting therapy weekly but I know an SD would help GREATLY with my daily activities. I feel that what has happened is extremely unfair but I have to learn to live with it.
If you are able to help in any way please do so. Anything is appreciated. No donation is to small. Even sharing to get the word out would be great.
Thank you in advance.
