LAST HOPE HOME needed for service dog & his handler.

This is a brief synopsis of many days on the road; going to serve afflicted people after USA shootings, bombings, terrorist attacks and climatic disasters. For 12 years, my service dogs and I have been serving hope and comfort to traumatized people across America. All those years I have never charged anything for our services. I have driven on "faith and fumes"; (170,000 miles) and God's call to help the afflicted. We were there after the Boston Marathon bombings and San Bernardino terrorist attack. It has been quite an arduous journey through rain, snow, heavy winds, extreme heat, numerous detours, delays and near car accidents. All this time, we have done this with no permanent home to return to. Hotel stays have been periodic. Many times my dog's and I have slept in a rental car or my van. There were a handful times we woke up in very cold inclement weather. One morning we woke up to 3° outside In Utah. My mission was always to bring hope, love and healing to hurting people. I recently heard a testimony from someone who said my dogs actually helped them from committing suicide.

My three service dogs and I have sacrificed everything to bring hope Love and joy to suffering people. I had to say goodbye to two golden retrievers while on mission; Jake: January 17, 2018 ( in Lubbock, Texas and Emerson: December 27, 2021 In Sunnyvale California.

Now, I have serious health concerns. I and my service dog Cooper need to have a place to call home. I am physically and emotionally exhausted after serving 60 missions across America to help numerous people heal after tragedy. It is now time for a bit of respite after over 12 years of service. Thank you very much for your generous gift in our time of need. Cooper and I look forward to having a quiet little place with our own bathroom, bed and kitchen. Perhaps we will be even fortunate enough to have a small yard. Your gift will help us to move forward and rejuvenate our health. Cooper has just had tooth surgery with 4 extractions. I have dental issues pending; with a tooth surgery coming up on March 18, 2025. I also am facing a surgery for bladder cancer.
