Hi! I’m Skyler. I am a LGBTQ+, disabled teenager

My Story

My father has passed away. It is just me and my mother. My mom is disabled, aswell. Neither one of us can work a typical job. I’m making money off bone art/jewelry, but I do not make enough to spend thousands. I’m struggling with things like attending school, social interaction, heightened awareness/paranoia, crowded environments, and more. My therapist, mom, and I have all agreed a service dog would be the next best move. Medicine and therapy alone are not helping. I struggle mainly with post-traumatic stress disorder and autism spectrum disorder. These disorders and more cause many problems even in my day to day life. For example, I cannot go to the opposite side of town due to paranoia and cannot stay in class the whole day. I snap when I’m pushed too far and make people upset. I am in desperate need of this extra support. Any help I can get would be an absolute blessing to me and my family.

Where Funds Go

3.5k will go towards purchasing the dog. I’ve selected one of if not the more elite breeders in my state. 4k goes to training and supplies. I am equipped to continue caring for her but elite trainers and breeders and a service dog cost money.
