Provide an abuse survivor with a service animal

Edit 9/3/2023

My story has been shared with the Monroe news. Thank you again to everyone who has helped me so far. I now have a prospect, a black and white standard poodle puppy named Keita. Aside from routine expenses such as 50~ spent monthly on food, the first major expense will be Keita's first few months of preliminary obedience training. About $150 per month before the more intensive, specialized service dog classes can start. I'm experiencing some more severe symptoms and have had to call off work more consistently, so these donations and well wishes really keep my spirits up when I'm feeling down on myself.

My name is Ny, and I'm fundraising in order to get a service dog to aid me with feeling safe and treating my PTSD and dysautonomia symptoms. This money will go towards the animal itself, as well as training, medical bills and equipment needed. A service dog would allow me to live independently and pursue my goals. The dog will be trained to block and perform crowd control actions, as well as wake me from nightmares, disrupt flashbacks and episodes, sense drops and spikes in heart rate to prevent fainting episodes, and provide emotional support. A service dog has been discussed with my therapist and is seen as a worthwhile treatment option in her professional opinion.
