Support for Service Dog Training

I am here to ask you for help. I have Asperger’s Syndrome (a form of Autism). I am pretty independent, but I am afraid to be by myself right now because I have been having seizures. My seizures are becoming more frequent and lasting longer. My last seizure lasted more than 15 minutes.

To help give me a more independent life again, I am trying to get a service dog. My seizures are triggered by stress and are not epilepsy. The dog I want would help me cope in stressful situations and be able to call for help when needed. There is a dog like this ready for me in Indiana from a training school called Medical Mutts.

The problem is because of the amount of training service dogs need they are expensive. My dog would cost $17,000 not including the cost of traveling to Indiana and staying at a hotel for 10-12 days to train with the dog.

My mom and I are able to pay some of this, but not the whole amount. We would appreciate your help in raising money for my service dog. I know this is a lot of money to ask for, so any help would be great.
