Support Mike's Journey with Service Dog Hula

Help Mike and His Service Dog Hula Girl Rebuild Their Life

Hi, my name is Kristina, and I work at the airport. About two months ago, I noticed a man and his dog spending the night in the terminal. Over time, I got to know Mike and his loyal service dog, Hula Girl.

Mike is a Vietnam veteran who proudly served in the U.S. Air Force for 23 years. After the heartbreaking loss of his wife four years ago, life took a difficult turn. He’s since lost everything — except Hula Girl, his faithful companion and lifeline.

Mike is trying to start over by relocating to Thailand, but he’s currently stuck in limbo while waiting for the necessary paperwork that will allow Hula Girl to travel with him. She’s all he has left — he won’t leave without her.

Recently, Mike also lost his phone on a bus and is now staying in a modest hotel near the airport, doing his best to get by.

I’m creating this GoFundMe to raise enough to:

    •    Keep Mike sheltered at the hotel until his travel plans can be finalized

    •    Help him purchase a one-way ticket to Thailand

    •    Replace his lost phone

    •    Cover travel and basic living expenses during this transition

    •    Complete the pet travel documentation for Hula Girl

Every dollar helps. If you can find it in your heart to support this kind and humble veteran and his beloved dog, it would mean the world.

Thank you so much for your compassion and generosity.
