I’m raising money to help me get a Psychiatric Service Dog. A service dog would provide daily support, stability, and independence, and help me navigate life in ways I can’t do alone right now.

My goal is $3,000, which will go toward training, getting the puppy, and the overall expenses required to make this possible.

Any amount, no matter how small, means more than I can say. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to me 💙

Thank you for supporting me and celebrating my birthday this year 🐾🎂

What is a Psychiatric Service Dog?

A Psychiatric Service Dog is a specially trained service animal that helps mitigate symptoms of mental health disabilities through specific tasks, not just emotional support.

How would a service dog help you?

A service dog can help with grounding during episodes, interrupt harmful behaviors, provide deep pressure therapy, assist with daily routines, and offer stability and independence in public and at home.

Is this an Emotional Support Animal (ESA)?

No. A Psychiatric Service Dog is task-trained and protected under the ADA, unlike an ESA.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and for supporting me in any way 🐾
