HELP A DISABLED YOUNG PERSON GET A SERVICE DOG DURING DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH
If anybody can donate, the link is here
Hi, my name is Evan, I’m a 20yr old lesbian and I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a rare connective tissue disorder that is slowly taking my mobility. I am desperately seeking funds to purchase a fully-trained service dog, which run the cost of £9,000-15,000. I am student, too disabled to work and reliant on my small disability benefit, and simply cannot afford this. I have £5,000 in savings I can put towards, but I am asking for support to cover the rest.
This dog would be life-changing for me, as a mobility service animal can provide balance and stability when walking, meaning I can be more physically active and preserve my mobility. They can also help me with chores around the house, remind me of medication, and alert someone in an emergency; all of this would mean that I could finally have the independence to move out of my parents’ house, something that has always been out of reach for me, due to my inability to take care of myself and household tasks, as well as fear of what may occur in an emergency
I know times are tough for everyone, but I would be forever grateful to anybody who could spare a little, or even share this <3
