Mateo's Quest for a Service Dog

Donation protected
Mateo is a five-year-old boy diagnosed with severe level three Autism. Mateo was diagnosed in April 2022. Since then, there have been many changes to our family dynamic, routine, and overall transition to ensure Mateo gets what he needs to be successful and reach his full potential.

We created this GoFundMe page to help support Mateo in getting a service dog. A service dog would assist Mateo in many ways such as deep pressure therapy, sensory processing, elopement, and keeping him safe. The service dog will also be trained be trained to assist and search/rescue in an emergency such as if Mateo ever jumps into water. Drowning is the leading cause of death for children with Autism.

Due to the intense training that a service dog needs to keep its handler safe, we are asking family, friends, neighbors, and the community to help us. Giving Mateo the highest quality of life possible is our ultimate goal. Your support is greatly appreciated and means more than you know.
