Donate to Help Lauren Nash Get a Life-Saving Service Dog,

Hi, my name is Lauren Nash. I have epilepsy. It is very hard to control, even with medication. Unfortunately, that picture of me intubated and put into a medically induced coma to stop my seizures when all else has failed has happened 5 times in the last year.

We had a big change; my husband went from working at home where he could look over me to

having to work out of the house 12 hours a day. My closest family member is 45 minutes away. Incredibly, I have been matched with a service dog that is trained to alert by barking if I have a seizure, pull me down to the floor if he feels my aura coming, but MOST importantly, push a yellow button that will call 911 and text family members. He can also bring me rescue medication if I need it.

I am here seeking financial help because even though I have been matched, I still have to pay for Hotah. He is incredibly expensive but potentially life-saving. They run in the price range of 50-70 thousand dollars. Please, donate so that not only my life is better but being alone won't be a problem.
