I’m a US Navy disabled veteran. My service dog passed away two weeks ago. I had him for ten and a half years. I have PTSD, depression, anxiety, as well as mobility issues. 

 

I have been approved for a new service dog through Northwest Battle Buddies. I will have to stay near the facility for 5 weeks in order to train and bond with my new service animal.

 

I am in need of funds for the hotel, food, and gas for the 5 weeks I have to stay in Battle Ground, WA. Getting a new service dog will help me live my life outside my home. I’m struggling without my constant companion. 

 

I know God will provide.

 

Thank you,

 

Misty
