Help Bring a Service Dog Into Nora’s Life

Our daughter, Nora, is an incredible little girl who faces challenges most people will never see.

Nora has been diagnosed with Dup15q Syndrome and autism, conditions that impact her daily life in many ways. Despite these challenges, she continues to teach our family lessons about resilience, joy, and unconditional love.

We are raising funds to help provide Nora with a professionally trained service dog—an investment that has the potential to dramatically improve her quality of life, safety, and independence.

A service dog would be trained to:

• Provide seizure awareness and alert support
• Offer comfort and emotional regulation during times of distress
• Assist with daily tasks and routines
• Increase Nora’s safety in public settings
• Provide companionship and confidence as she grows and explores the world

For children with neurological and developmental disabilities, a service dog is often much more than a companion. They become a trusted partner, helping create greater freedom, security, and peace of mind for both the child and their family.

The cost of acquiring and training a service dog is significant, and many of these expenses are not covered by insurance. That’s why we’re reaching out to our community for support.

Every donation, regardless of size, helps bring Nora one step closer to having a service dog by her side.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page with friends, family, and your network would mean just as much.

Thank you for being part of Nora’s journey and helping us create new opportunities for her future.

With gratitude,

Logan and Bri

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.
