Hunter OMS Warrior - Mobility Dog
Donation protected
Hi. My name is Hunter. I like to be called Kid. I am 13 yrs old. My mom says I am 4, but I am 13 and my name is Kid.
I like superheros, legos, books, playdoh, and movies.
I use the potty. I wear superheroes underwears.
I am shaky. I have a hard time walking and keeping my balance. My hands shake, so my mom, dad, and siblings have to help feed me. I go to the hospital a lot to get lots of medicine. I don't like getting medicine.
I need a special dog to help me walk by myself and to help me get things. It is hard for me because I am so shaky. I fall a lot. Would you consider helping me?
-------------------
My son was diagnosed with Opsoclonus Myoclonus Syndrome (Dancing Eyes, Dancing Feet) in June of 2017. This is a 1 in 10 million condition that is so rare, most doctors will never see it in their lifetime. It took almost 2 weeks of a hospital stay and 2 misdiagnosis' later to get it right.
There is no cure.
One day, my son was a normal 3 yr old. The next day, he lost his ability to walk, talk, sit up, eat by himself, stand....or do anything a "normal" 3 yr old does.
He has been on a regime of medication (chemo, IVIG, ACTH, high dose steroids, iron, antacids, etc) since his diagnosis.
He is 4 now. He has the truncal strength of an 18 mth old. He struggles with walking, running, standing sometimes, sitting, speaking, fine motor skills, self feeding. He also has OCD, severe PTSD, insomnia....this condition affects everything. He has good days and he has bad days.
Please consider helping us raise the funds to purchase a mobility dog, that can also help with his PTSD, through 4 Paws for Ability. This program allows younger children to reach their potential by placing a service dog with them. They also do not require us to relinquish our current pets. They want to enhance his life and allow him to reach his potential with a little help from a furry friend.
All monies raised will go towards this service dog and if there is any leftover, we will use it to make our bathroom handicap (that hurt to say) accessible, as Hunter cannot use any part of our bathroom because of his ataxia (shakiness). We will need rails for the toilet and a shower that can accommodate a walker and have a bench. We also need to lower our sinks to help him reach and can keep him steady and not hurt himself when he tries to go to the restroom, as he gets older.
Thank you, in advance and God bless.
