Ava Schmidt is my 11-year-old daughter, and she faces the daily challenges of epilepsy with a fun loving spirit and a bright heart. Despite her diagnosis, Ava never lets it hold her back from enjoying life and spreading joy to those around her. She dreams of having more independence, and a medical seizure service dog would be life-changing for her.

The funds raised will go directly toward purchasing a seizure service dog who is fully trained to detect and alert an adult when Ava has a seizure. This incredible companion will not only help keep her safe, but also provide comfort during recovery and give her the confidence to be herself. With this support, Ava can experience more freedom and reassurance in her daily life.

Your donation, no matter the size, brings Ava one step closer to greater independence and a constant, loving companion. Thank you for helping us give Ava the support she deserves.
