Help Madeleine Get a Service Dog

I am a single parent raising a wonderful autistic teen who needs your help to pay for a service dog. Madeleine has been matched with an awesome dog, Cinder, who will help her move independently through the world. Cinder will support Madeleine with many things including taking the bus, remembering to take medication, avoiding crowds in public spaces, even turning lights on and off. Cinder will be trained to Madeleine's specific needs, including deep pressure stimulation and tactile grounding. Having a dog will help Madeleine be able to leave the house consistently and participate in the activities she loves, like school and theater. 

We are working with Cascade Service Dogs where they have 40 years of experience. With your help, Cinder can join our family in a month! Having Cinder will greatly improve Madeleine's quality of life and help her live the independent life she dreams of. This opporunity is a life-line that we are grabbing hold of, with your help.

We are asking for help to cover the training fees for the dog. Cascade Service Dogs works hard to keep the costs low, but this is still a large expense for my little household. We are thrilled to be working with Cascade Service Dogs, who will provide ongoing support for Madeleine and Cinder for years to come.

If you can support financially, that is wonderful and appreciated. Every amount makes a difference. If you cannot, we totally understand.

Either way, please consider sharing our request so that we can bring Cinder home.

Thank you!
