Christina Booth

Hi, my name is Christina. I am making this fundraiser in the hopes of helping to finance the cost of training my dog into a fully-fledged psychiatric service animal. I struggle with cPTSD along with ADHD and autism, all of which I take medications for. However, medication alone hasn't been enough, as I struggle with manic episodes and anxiety attacks. My psychiatrist has talked to me before about service animals and how they can help in tandem with medications. I never thought of having a service animal before, as I know how expensive it is to train one. Eris fell into my life back in January. He is a 7 month old chihuahua poodle mix, an intelligent and loving dog. I really believe he is the sign that I needed to finally work towards getting a service animal, as it would be immensely helpful in my day to day life. Recently, I found a person who specializes in training service animals. The cost for training is nearly $10,000. Suffice it to say, I can't pay for all of that on my own. I don't ever like asking for help financially, but just this once, I am asking. This is something that means so much to me, I just need a little help to get there. I know the goal is huge, and I don't expect to reach it all. But anything helps. And I thank each and every person who can help by donation or by sharing this fundraiser. Please help me reach my goal of having my very own trained service animal. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
