help Tamara get a service dog
Description
Hi there my name is Tamara, i’m 16 years old and have been struggling for a long time to live an independent life because of a few things that make me disabled, such as my high anxiety, depression, dissociation, borderline personality disorder, and much more.
i’ve tried multiple different types of treatments such as therapy’s and medication and nothing has worked except having a service dog. Sadly my current dog couldn’t make it as my service dog and had to stop training because of her fear issues. When I had her I was able to be independent again and leave the house, I was even able to make friends, something I wasn’t able to do because of my disabilities. i can’t do a lot of things like going in public or talking to strangers without having a meltdown because of my disabilities.
i’ve always had a love for animals but specifically dogs, they always made me feel better when i was upset, they help me so much when I was younger and could help me even more now than ever.
Recently I have found the perfect service dog trainer, but the cost is very expensive. I have also found a breeder with a puppy that could save my life! I have been trying to raise money by selling bandannas and other little pet thing in hopes to get this puppy and afford it’s training. Because I am 16 with no income and finding a job during covid has been so difficult and finding a job that is suitable for my disabilities is even harder.
This dog will be trained to guide while i’m dissociated, alert to migraines and high anxiety, etc. And will give me my independence back to live life and see my friends again and get a job. The puppy itself is $2,400 and the training may be even more expensive! I don’t like to ask for money but this dog is my only way of getting freedom back. During covid times are tough but if anyone has any spare change any donation help cover the costs of getting my life back.
if anyone is interested in a bandanna or other little pet things please reach out! thank you for taking the time to read this.
Love Tamara :)
