Help Fund My Service Dog- PTSD And Seizure Response

Hi, I’m Ella (Nicki), and I’m raising funds for a service dog to help me live more safely and independently.

I experience absence seizures, along with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. My seizures cause sudden, unpredictable moments where I lose awareness — sometimes walking, interacting, or doing anything without knowing. I often feel confused after and can’t remember what happened. Combined with my mental health challenges, this makes daily life overwhelming and unsafe at times.

A trained psychiatric and seizure response service dog would change my life. This dog would:

• Alert me to seizures

• Help keep me safe during and after episodes

• Interrupt PTSD flashbacks and anxiety attacks

• Offer grounding and support when I’m overwhelmed

The $3000 will go towards getting the dog, dog gear, and any other medical expenses— and I need help to make this a reality. Any donation or share means the world to me.

Thank you for supporting my journey.
