Kenner and Ivy

This is Kenner Fee, and his Service Dog, Ivy Fee.

Kenner has Autism. And Ivy is a Black Lab. Ivy calms Kenner's anxieties and helps him cope with school and socializing. Outside of school, the two are inseparable
. At school however, Ivy isn't allowed to be with Kenner. The Waterloo Catholic District School Board says that Kenner doesn't need a service dog. Kenner's doctors, psychologists, therapists, parents and the Lions Foundation say otherwise.

Kenner's parents, Craig and Amy. have been fighting with the WCDSB for over 3 years to get them to allow Ivy to attend school with Kenner at St. Kateri Catholic Elementary School in Kitchener. The fight has now escalated to the Ontario Human Rights Commission, where the Fee's have had to invest thousands of dollars into lawyers and their charges, out of pocket. While the WCDSB has, what seems to be, unlimited taxpayer resources to pay for their lawyers. 

This is a fight that no parent should have to fight. A fight to have the basic needs met, and has proven to be quite costly for the family of 6 (The Fee's have 3 other children, also attending St. Kateri).

We're asking the public to join us in raising  funds to help the Fee's offset a fraction of the legal expenses they've personally incurred throughout the Human Rights Tribunal.  Anything raised over our target amount will be donated to the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, where Ivy was attained from.

Craig and Amy are hoping to achieve not only their son being allowed to have his autism service dog in the classroom with him, but any other kids that need this accommodation.

Every donation helps, big or small. Please share and feel free to use our hashtags #KennerAndIvy #WeStandWithKennerAndIvy #IStandWithKennerAndIvy
