We are fundraising for a service dog for our daughter Emmalynn! 

After a lifetime of challenges, my sweet Emmalynn has finally received some incredible news… she’s been approved for a service dog. ?

Emmalynn is 16 years old and has been bravely battling seizures since she was just an infant, along with many other struggles no child should have to face. Through it all, she continues to show strength, resilience, and a heart full of light.

This service dog could truly change her life…..providing safety, independence, and comfort in ways we can’t fully put into words. But there’s one big hurdle left. She must raise $23,000 before she can be matched with her dog.

If you’re able to give, share, or simply keep her in your thoughts, it would mean the world to our family. Every bit of support brings Emmalynn one step closer to the life she deserves.

Thank you for helping us lift her up. ?

Training a service dog to meet our child’s requirements can be very costly. On average it costs between $40,000-60,000 to raise, train, and place a service dog at 4 Paws for Ability. While 4 Paws for Ability fundraises to help cover a significant portion of this cost, families are tasked with raising $20,000 of that amount or $23,000 if receiving a poodle, doodle or papillon. We hope that we can receive assistance from our beloved family and friends to help make our service dog dream a reality.
