Get Tatum a Service Dog!
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Tatum, I am 20 and currently living in London Ontario. I have been dealing with multiple chronic illnesses since I have been 15 and I am desperately in need for a service dog.
I depend heavily upon family and friends for help but my mother has many of the same conditions I do and my father is currently going through cancer treatment. I believe a service animal will help me gain more independence that I want as I am still fighting to attend college.
I have found a foundation that will help me get an animal! But I can’t afford the fees so I am hoping that you can help, please any donation counts and if you can’t donate, please share!
Let me tell you how this service dog will help me!
I am currently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I am in constant pain and I have trouble getting things I need such as dropped objects or something on the other side of the room
Hypersomnia, a sleep disorder that causes me to sleep to much and too deeply. I have actually slept through a fire alarm! Thankfully it was only a drill.
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome or POTS. It means I frequently fall and pass out, I have had multiple concussions because of this, the most recent being March 5th 2018, and I have balance issues as a result, a service dog that I could lean on to regain my balance or call for help in an emergency is desperately needed. Also did you know service dogs can alert you before a fainting spell? That's amazing and what I need!
Non-epileptic seizures, I have seizures with no brain activity involved so there’s no medication I can be put on. This means I can have them multiple times a day with nothing to control them. A service dog would help by putting me in a recovery position and calling for help.
My last emergency room visit was March 5th, a service dog could have prevented this visit.
If you're interested in the foundation I have found it Thames Centre Service Dogs in Mount Brydges, Ontario. They are the best of the best.
Now please, can you help me?
