Ben's Service Dog Fundraiser
Donation protected
On July 9th of 2015, I suffered a severe Traumatic Brain Injury. Since then, I've battled in the wells of depression, anxiety, and mania. Almost a year and a half later, here I am. I've been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and PTSD. I am hoping to get a service dog, but the prices are quite high. All money made through this will go directly to Guardian Service Dogs. The process is simple. I first choose a dog from the pound and then have it tested for intelligence and manner. Then I go to monthly training sessions with my new dog to train them to recognize panic attacks, carry my medicines, etc, etc. I owe anyone who donates a big hug. It's been a very rough time period for me. Anything will help. One of the issues I have is when I am overly stimulated. I can barely walk through the city of Denver without having some sort of panic growing inside me. I am hoping that obtaining a service dog will help me in more ways than one. It would promote daily exercise, the dog would be carrying my medications, and the dog would be there to assist me in any crisis moment. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.
