Help Attaya Heal with a Support Dog

We want to take a moment to express our love and appreciation for each and every one of you. Losing someone we hold dear is an incredibly tough journey, one that leaves an indelible mark on our lives. My daughter, Attaya, is just 9 years old and has recently faced the unimaginable loss of her father. It’s been two months since he passed, and the world feels different—heavier—without him.

Attaya is struggling to navigate her grief. At such a young age, she’s grappling with emotions she doesn’t fully understand, often keeping them bottled up inside. This isn’t healthy; she needs to grieve in her own way to heal and continue blossoming into the remarkable young lady she is meant to be. It breaks my heart to see her so sad and weighed down by this loss. She has already faced so many challenges in her young life, and she shouldn’t have to feel alone in this.

What Attaya has expressed is a desire for a support dog—a companion who can help her through this difficult time, offering comfort and love as she learns to cope with her father’s absence. I’m committed to doing whatever it takes to support her and help her embrace this new chapter, one where she can feel her daddy watching over her from above.

Many of you have reached out, saying, “If there’s anything we can do, just let us know.” Well, here’s how you can help bring a little joy back into Attaya’s life. Whether you can donate a dollar or any amount that feels right to you, it would mean the world to us. If you’re unable to contribute financially, simply sharing this message with others who might be willing to help would be a blessing.

Please keep Attaya in your thoughts and prayers as she navigates this journey. She has her whole life ahead of her, and with your support, we can help her find her way through this.

Thank you for being there for us.

Due to her having minor allergies, she will need a certain type of dog.
