Service Animal for a little girl

Donation protected
Josalynn is a beautiful little girl that has always been full of life. This is a little girl that loved to play soccer, T-Ball, Gymnastics, MMA... anything that she possibly could. She was an all A student that excelled in anything possible. She had a future to look up to. Then Trauma. At the age of 10 is when she had her first auditory and visual hallucination. To say that she was scared was an understatement. Watching her covering her ears screaming at everyone around her was beyond scary for all of us. She had very little control over figuring out what was real and what wasn't. As multiple forms of therapy has been executed and continued, we have seen progress. However, now that she is 13 today, we are watching her continue to have additional escalations. As we are fighting to keep her home and safe, we are currently in therapy at least 5 times a week. She is also going to school online so she will not fall further behind in education. We are working on 'her time', as she is able. We are a single parent household. I have not been able to return to work as Josalynn is my first priority. We have just received a prescription for a Service Animal to help keep Josalynn 'present' and to help keep her from escalating. The beginning costs of a service animal is around $17,000. I have found a non profit in Washington County for kids only that charges $6,000. This covers the cost of the animal and training. I also have to transport Josalynn from Oil CIty to Washington County every Sunday to continue to train her Service Animal with Josi. Not only am I needing the costs of the service animal, but to be able to travel back and fourth once a week. I am asking for help for my daughter as she has been through enough. Thank You.
