Service Dog Training for Ripley

Hello, my name is Julia, though some of you know me better as Ugh_What_Now. I've faced many things in my life head on, with what most would call a form of hyper-independence. However, my injury is worsening and a spinal fusion is imminent. Combined with hypermobible Ehlers Danlos, Fibromyalgia, and a myriad of other health conditions I find myself in need of assistance. Somebody to help me find balance in my life both literally and figuratively that's where Ripley comes in. Unfortunately in the state where I live there is no assistance for adults with physical disabilities, and the only organization out of state that helps has a waiting list years long. After her service training, Ripley will be able to provide balance as I walk, as well as pick up dropped/low items and hand them up to me; thus giving me back my independence that I have lost these past few years. The goal stated will cover her service training fees and the standard fees deducted by ~Go Fund Me~ before being deposited. If we were to reach anything over that, the extra money would go towards vet bills such as vaccines, spay, and be set aside for future emergencies she may face.

Being disabled I am on a fixed income which helps for budgeting... though it isn't quite as helpful with the amount I receive being the bare minimum.

Ripley and I are grateful for any and all help in reaching our goals.
