PTSD Service Dog for Emily

Donation protected
Hello,

I am a mother of 3 and raising awareness and funds for my 18 year old daughter Emily. Emily recently disclosed a long history of sexual and emotional abuse that was occurring for over half of her life by a trusted family friend. 

Emily has been diagnosed with PTSD, severe depression, and anxiety. She experiences nightmare, flashbacks, and panic attacks that at this time will not allow her to have the independence that she desires.  She is a survivor and is currently in weekly group and individual therapy and has the support of her family to assist her in the day to day activities of her life.

 Emily desires to live independently, return to college, secure a job and eventually start a family of her own. We are asking for your help in raising the funds needed for a PTSD Service Dog from Service Dogs For Independence. Please visit  http://www.sd4i.us/ for more information.

 Emily along with her therapist and family strongly believe a service dog can be protective, comforting, supportive, and improve her quality of life. We greatly appreciate the continued prayers and support our family and friends have displayed over this last year. Emily knows the journey for her recovery and healing is not easy and will be challenging. Emily is a true warrior and will not give up on reaching her goals and overcoming these obstacles.

Thank you for your generosity to support Emily in her recovery.
