Unleash Hope and Love: Matthew's Journey with Canine Companions

Join Me in Empowering Lives through Canine Companionship - A Heartfelt Tribute to Odin's Legacy, Bringing Joy and Independence to Extraordinary Individuals.

Greetings, wonderful friends and supporters,

I'm thrilled to embark on a personal journey, 'Unleash Hope and Love,' in support of Canine Companions. Inspired by the memory of my beloved Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Odin, I am determined to raise $1,500 to contribute to this noble cause.

Odin was more than a pet; he was a source of unwavering love and support. His memory fuels my passion to channel our efforts towards those who can benefit immensely from the life-changing companionship of service dogs.

Canine Companions leads the service dog industry, providing assistance to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities. These incredible dogs also serve professionals in healthcare, criminal justice, and educational settings. All services, from the dogs to follow-up support, are provided at no cost to the recipients.

Your donation to my personal fundraising will directly contribute to empowering lives and unleashing hope for greater independence. Join me in making a difference – every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to our goal and helps Canine Companions continue their invaluable work.

Your support will make a profound impact!

  • A $5 donation is a small step that carries immense impact, proving that no amount is too little to create positive change.

  • A $25 donation can provide service dog vests, symbolizing the unity and strength of our team.

  • With a $50 donation, you can ensure a dog in professional training receives a month of nourishing food, fueling their journey to become a lifelong companion.

  • A $100 donation goes towards expert medical and wellness care, ensuring the health and happiness of a Canine Companions dog.

  • Your $500 donation provides dedicated follow-up services, supporting the ongoing success and well-being of the human-canine team.

  • For a substantial impact, a $1,000 donation covers the food expenses for three dogs throughout their entire service dog training period.

Join me in creating a ripple of positive change by contributing today. Your support transforms lives, fosters independence, and strengthens the incredible connections between humans and their furry companions. Every dollar counts, and every donation is a step towards a brighter, more inclusive future. Thank you for being a vital part of this heartwarming journey with Canine Companions and being one of Odin's Heroes.

With gratitude, Matthew Hoenstine ?✨ #UnleashHope #CanineCompanions #OdinsHeroes
