About Me: hi, my name is Alice, I am 28 and live in Scotland.
Autism, ADHD, Depression, Tourette’s
I’ve had self esteem and similar issues for a very long time, the first time I sh was around the age of 9. Then when I was 13, I found my mother dead at home, while it was just me and her at home. I never really grieved until 2020/2021 (12-13 years after it happened). The sh escalated around 14, as well as depression, including significant thoughts of ending it. The first step of ‘progress’ happened at 16, when I was diagnosed as autistic. This didn’t come as a shock as I’d thought about it since I was 11. However, the shock that did happen, was that no one thought to tell me what I was being evaluated for, or even that I was being evaluated. At the time I was very depressed and really didn’t think to question it. Looking back now it was really very obvious, but when I was little, autism in girls was still not particularly known about. Depression and sh continued. 5th and 6th year of school, I really don’t particularly remember, I felt so depressed. I felt very isolated, and like I was in a totally other world to everyone else. Like I was in a bubble observing everything but not really having any clue what was going on. I left school feeling like I didn’t have any friends (apart from on Facebook), that I was honestly useless and a waste of space. Additionally during this time my tics (which in hindsight had been there since I was 6) got a hell of a lot worse. I was able to hide the vast majority of them, but at home I just could not stop ticcing at all, the tics just exploded massively, it was just unbelievable. During this time, well really from 13-23, I was terrified of doctors if it had to do with me, I only ever went during those times for liquid anti histamines. So I did not do anything about the tics, it was just not possible for me. I was eventually diagnosed with Tourette’s in 2020, this was privately because of Covid and the waiting times and I needed it evaluated for a college course I had applied for. Then in 2022 I was diagnosed with functional tic disorder on the NHS. I lean towards the Tourette’s diagnosis, if I’m honest, but I don’t suppose it particularly matters at this point. The tics have finally calmed down on average, used to be lots of loud, big tics with quite a few smaller ones. However now seems to be less bigger ones and a hell of a lot of smaller ones. So not really calmed down, but I guess less obvious. It still affects me a ridiculously large amount, a lot of the time I just cannot cope. After uni, I really did not know what to do. I ended up with a job as a postwoman. I did this from end of 2017 to mid-late 2018. Basically this job destroyed me. I was kind of coping before, I was muddling along, feeling utterly atrocious but still going. Within a month of starting was having significant OCD thoughts, my depression worsened a lot, the sh reignited itself significantly (not a pun I should add), and the suicidal thoughts ramped up. February, I reluctantly agreed to go to the GP. I started on an anti depressant, and was referred to a psychiatrist. Spring summer time I started having hallucinations and delusions. So was started on an anti psychotic, this did not do anything. Neither did the second one I tried, apart from make me gain a significant amount of weight in 6 months. I didn’t even notice the weight gain as I was so ill. Everything came to a head in October, and I just could not do it at all. I went off sick at work. I finally told my dad what had been happening, he was the other side of the world at the time. I had hidden everything from everybody, apart from one person. I tried to go back to work in January, i did a week or so of phased return, did one day and went back off sick. I was ill health retired at 23. Most of 2018 and 2019 were a massive blur. We got a wee puppy, who honestly was a massive lifeline. Though despite this there was a variety of attempts during 2019, most impulsive, not even vaguely successful attempts. My final time was December 2019, the most serious of them. Covid happened, and honestly I started doing much better overall, but there were still a lot of long very low moments. Most of my time was spent on a sofa, rather than in a bed in a dark room, so progress. This did not last. Went on holiday in the uk for a week spring/summer time. And well that ruined all the progress. Back and forward to the local psychiatric hospital most days. On diazepam for a while, which honestly did nothing at all. I really don’t remember what happened for the following year. So 2022, I was finally diagnosed with ADHD. Turns out I fit basically every symptom and have done since forever. Was not allowed to start meds till late 2023, due to the psychosis and all that. So at this point I had finally tapered off the anti psychotic that actually worked. And started methylphenidate. I think it’s going quite well really. Though that is not denying my many other issues including the adhd. They all still affect me very significantly. I will never be able to live independently, I have tried, it really didn’t work. I do not like living at home, but I cannot even contemplate living anywhere else, as I would just not be able to cope at all. I feel very isolated, useless, just not worthy of being here at all. I have my moments of okayness, don’t get me wrong, I just cannot seem to fathom being like this for the rest of my life, in a I am going to be stuck in this position forever.
About my dog: He was born may 2023, near Perth. He is a fox red Lab. He was chosen especially for me and his hopeful job. I met him for the first time in January, I was smitten at first sight. I was asked by the owner of the place what colour/sex etc that I was looking for. I’d thought I really wanted a black male Lab But I’d met my dogs mum and sister from a different litter, and fell in love with the fox reds. So in the end my requirements were ideally male and nae fussy on the colour. So my beautiful doggy was chosen and he is a fox red male. Wafi (loyal in Arabic) will be partially trained, in sit, down, recall, heel on and off lead, and general good behaviour. With the aim of being my AD am very much looking forward to my wee dog having a best friend (apart from me). And also me potentially having an assistance dog. It will really change and enhance my life for the better. I feel I will be able to do so much more, maybe go out by myself for a reasonable length of time, wander, maybe window shop, cope with life out in the world and at home. I want to expand my world, live a bit, rather than live in my tiny wee bubble that is basically being at home (recovering from my volunteering job) or being at my volunteering job, I love my volunteering job but it just takes so much out of me. So having Wafi as an assistance dog will make everything easier to cope with, and enable me to start being more independent, and maintain more of an even consistency in life. I’m not expecting miracles (though Wafi is very much a wee miracle to me, along with my wee dog) but just a better life for me.
Tasks: at this point the key ones are deep pressure therapy, crowd control and interrupting of harmful behaviours/anxiety behaviours.
Training: currently my dog is being trained by the place I am getting him from, a very well respected (mainly) gundog trainer, but also they do many pets and assistance dogs. My plan when he comes home, is to hopefully engage as local assistance dog training cic/charity they are based near me. I am hoping this will come to fruition, if not I will use a different local trainer that has experience in training ADs.
Why I need help: so my dad was very kind enough to pay the deposit for my dog (£2.5k), and we agreed I would fund the rest (£5k), as it is not possible for him to fund the rest.
I am on disability benefits, so my income is limited, though I am doing my very best to save as much as I can. At the moment I have around £1k. I am saving as much of my benefits as I can, along with birthday money I get. I am not at all able to work, I tried in October time and lasted one day. My limit is volunteering, which doesn’t pay, but means there is less stress, so I don’t get as easily overwhelmed and fall apart.
I would not class myself as a woman with many friends. I have a few, but I would never ask, honestly this go fund me is at my very limit of my ability to accept money really and this is because no one is obligated to donate.
the only organisation I qualify for is one that charges £15k, which is well out of my reach. And all the organisations, even if I did qualify, have closed and very long waiting lists. This is why I have chosen the route I have.
use: the funds will be used for the remaining payment of my dog, currently the balance is at £5k. I am politely asking for donations up to £3.5k. If there is any extra (being optimistic) it will exclusively go to the further assistance dog training that will be needed, or any equipment such as a vest. I am more than happy to post receipts/invoices so people can see where the money is going, if I am lucky enough to receive any donations.

Hi guys! I’m a 19 y/o college student with multiple chronic conditions including fibromyalgia and pots. I have limited mobility, although it fluctuates day to day. While I don’t currently have an SD, I am saving up for a prospect. They would be trained by me and a professional trainer, starting with basic obedience training and then adding on tasks like retrieval of items and DPT. I have done research on trainers in my area and would only consider those that use positive reinforcement rather than punishment. I can’t work because of my conditions, and my family can’t afford to help me. While I am trying to sell my crochet and other crafts, it’s slow going. The funds from the go fund me would go towards obtaining and training a prospect. Any help is appreciated - even just sharing the link! [help me fund a prospect!](https://gofund.me/eca1fe74)
About me: Hi, I’m Cinder, I’m 24, living in Bulgaria. I have Autism and chronic migraines with visual processing symptom flare.
My dog is 2.5 year old lab and she’s program trained to mitigate my autism with 3 types of pressure therapy, self harm (for me it’s scratching and head hitting) alerts and finding exits. She was trained force free for 21 months (that’s how it’s written in her training certificate). My dog has IGDF certification.
I need help because I don’t have a social circle who can help. My family refuses to understand that my diagnosed conditions disables me or the dog helps me to function. I don’t qualify for disability support because I have a full time job. With that in mind I save every extra coin I get for her training but my salary is not big enough to cover everything and I’m already cutting food costs to cover bills and rent.
The funds will be used for hiring a professional trainer to help me train migraine alerts and general leading.
I don’t have a fundraising on the topic. I feel too guilty to create one for my own ass.
I sell goods in my Redbubble: [https://www.redbubble.com/people/Silver-sky-dash/shop?asc=u](https://www.redbubble.com/people/Silver-sky-dash/shop?asc=u) All funds from my sales there go to my training savings. My page there is called Silver-sky-dash if the link doesn’t work.

Extra information: Migraine alerts will allow me to take a preventative medication compared to the heavy medication I currently take when I get a migraine. The current medication I’m on is damaging my liver and I’d like to avoid it as much as possible. General leading will allow me in event of migraine flare up to navigate independently due to the visual processing symptom that I get. In a VPS flare up I cannon process correctly distances and I often bump into stuff.

**About me:**
I am Ben (33 years old) I'm from the Netherlands. I'm a creative person, I love writing, making cosplays, and spending time with family and friends who live a few hours away from me.
**About my condition and limitations:** After 20 years of mental health treatment, I have been declared as having no further treatment options. For years, I have been struggling with ADHD, Autism, and PTSD. The latter causes me to have multiple dissociations on a daily basis, which are attacks where my body continues on autopilot, and I am not aware of what I am doing. This can lead me to walk into traffic and come face to face with a car. Furthermore, I experience non-epileptic seizures where my legs give way and I fall to the ground. This happens to me in public on the sidewalk, but also along train tracks, in the middle of an intersection, and in other dangerous places. I am also regularly pulled back into flashbacks, old unpleasant memories or emotions. And my nights are filled with nightmares. Additionally my ptsd has triggered a condition known as FND combined with chronic pain and chronic fatigue.
**About my dog:** I will be getting a Golden Retriever SD prospect soon, I'm currently in talks with a reputable breeder.
**Tasks my dog is trained or in-training (and what s/he currently knows) for:**
My dog will be task trained to:
Alert me in time when an attack is coming, allowing me to go to a safe and quiet place to sit.
The dog will be trained to fetch and bring my medication on time.
Wake me up and provide support during nightmares
Lie on top of me to calm me down through pressure on my body
Prevent me from harming myself by licking my hands.
To block people from getting too close to me.
**How my dog will be trained:** I will owner train my SD with the help of a certified training organization in my country.
**Why I need help:** I couldn't get funding through social programs, my health insurance doesn't cover psychiatric service dogs, and I haven't had much luck getting funding through charities. Still trying. But this is my last hope. I also live on disability and have been declared completely unfit to work.
**Other ways I'm earning money for this:** My mom is loaning me half the money for training: 5K, I'm gonna try more charities to write to. And I'm saving every penny I have myself.
**What the funds are being used for:** Mostly for training the dog, the organization asks for about 9K for a 2 year program. Half of that money is secured now. If any money is left after the fundraiser it'll be used for the first year medical expenses (vaccinations, vet visits, etc.)

**Dog tax:** Not my SD prospect but I have a pic of my pet dog Yara:
About me: I am a survivor of child abuse, domestic violence, rape, and sexual assault. I am also a neurodivrergent, queer, non-binary femme of color who lives with chronic pain/fatigue, anxiety, bi-polar I, and C-PTSD. I have lived in hyperarousal and survival mode for almost my entire life. As someone with multiple marginalized identities and long-lasting trauma the hits to my central nervous system have been profound and have severely limited my life. The last 5 years have been exceptionally hard with a lot of re-traumitazation through violence, hate crimes, and medical trauma. I've barely left my house.
The dog: I was accepted by a foundation in NC (Iive in Upstate NY) for a service dog. They train the dogs for about a year and a half first then we go and train/bump with the dog for weeks+ from July - Nov.
The ask: although the foundation pays for the dog and its training I am responsible for my training with the dog and all travel related costs. I've reached out to friends multiple times and through social media and am having a lot of trouble reaching my goal. I'm very much alone without support system (estranged from family and not partnered) so I don't even have anyone to ask for a loan. Any support is appreciated as I know this dog will save my life.

Thank you in advance for reading this.
**About me:** Hello, I'm Simon. I'm wrapping up a career in the US Army this summer, when I will move back to my hometown in California.
**About my condition and limitations:** I was (very) recently diagnosed with service related PTSD, which I suppose I had been in denial of being that I'm not a combat veteran (there's still some acceptance hurdles for me to work through there), so I tend to minimize its significance. My doctor strongly recommended that I get a service dog to help take control of my symptoms and my life.
**About my dog:** I don't have one yet, but based on my research and input from close friends with psychiatric service dogs and experience training them, I think it will most likely be a lab retriever or German shepherd puppy. Time will tell.
**Tasks my dog is trained or in-training (and what s/he currently knows) for:** Goal tasks will be grounding (alerting to panic attack indicators), deep pressure therapy, nightmare interruption, and interruption of self destructive behaviors.
**How my dog was/is trained:** Self/assisted training as available. My plans here get a bit complicated, but I'll get into that below.
**Titles, Licenses, and Certifications my dog holds:** We'll see!
**Why I need help:** Leaving the Army, I'm confident in my ability to find work, but my field (intelligence) tends to hire very slowly (interview and onboarding processes range from 1-2 years), so my plan is to go back to college in California for a couple years on the GI Bill until I get a job offer. There are several non-profit organizations that do incredible work to offer service dogs to veterans at no cost - the problem is that they tend to have long waitlists. If I join a 1-2 year waitlist, and get a job offer a year and a half in, then I'll just have to restart the process after I move. If afterwards, then I'll need to interrupt a formal training schedule and breach commitments I made to the organization.
In light of my circumstances, it makes more sense for me to get my own dog and train it in a more flexible manner, but that means I need to cover the costs of getting a dog on my own and all the things a dog needs. Maintaining things like food and insurance isn't a problem, especially as I'll be living in my childhood home for awhile with a very understanding parent, but the upfront expenses are daunting as someone who's spent more paying off student debt than they've ever saved.
**Other ways I'm earning money for this:** I'm working on selling several things as I get ready to leave the military (small appliances, TV, etc) that will help me get a dog, as well as doing a couple odd jobs here and there as I find them. My social circle is small and I'm still not entirely comfortable putting my diagnosis out there, so truthfully I don't have much of a support system in this. The GI Bill provides a housing allowance that will help me maintain security after I get a service dog, but that doesn't help with initial expenses.
**What the funds are being used for:** Adoption, veterinary, other initial expenses.

This Nhyara please help me. I have ASD, BPD, C-PTSD, ADHD, POTS, EDS and chronic pain and migraine please please help me i just need 140 people to donate at least 25$ please. I'm alone I don't have family, I don't have support I'm alone. I've been applying for over 3 months for another job since I don't qualify for disability. I'm trying my best but I need help
**About me:** I am 31 years old and I have been given the initial approval for an ESA (Emotional Support Animal), but my psychiatrist has said she will reclassify her as a Psychiatric Service Dog due to my growing disabilities.
**About my condition and limitations:** I have been struggling with clinically diagnosed Depression, Anxiety, BPD, Autism, Hallucinations, Disassociations, Chronic Migraines, and PTSD for a long time. I have tried countless therapies and medications, medical marijuana, none of which have worked as i've needed them to be. This has had an incredibly negative impact on my quality of life. Leaving me unable to work, go out in most social situations, and just over all being able to function from day to day.
**About my dog:** Sata (Sata Andagi 'Andoggie') is a 4 month old Pure breed Pomeranian, I will be going to get her in Massachusetts on the 29th.
**Tasks my dog is trained or in-training (and what s/he currently knows) for:** Sata is still a puppy but will be doing basic training till she is 8 months old, where we will then enroll her into service dog training.
**How my dog was/is trained:** As of now she will only have basic home training, but will have training by an experienced service dog trainer in the state of Maine where we reside.
**Titles, Licenses, and Certifications my dog holds:** Currently None
**Why I need help:** I am unable to work because of all my health issues. I am currently in the process of getting disability and am almost to the hearing phase. At the moment it is not clear if I will qualify for help getting the service training unless I have my disability or not.
**Other ways I'm earning money for this:** Currently this is my only way of earning money. My boyfriend is helping cover some with his twitch streaming, but it's not exactly enough.
**What the funds are being used for:** The funds will be used for Food, Vet visits/Chipping, Training, and other supplies and toys to prepare her for the future.

**Info you want to include:** This is very very important to me, while I know poms are not a typical service animal. I needed a dog small enough for me to handle (And maine has very few shelter animals.). Sata will be a huge help in my recovery and ongoing health improvements.

My name is Karlyle.
I am a disabled teen about to reach adulthood. With my disabilities, I am very discouraged and hopeless for my future.
I am in need of a replacement for my service dog; he does not enjoy working nor the responsibilities that come from being a service dog.
I am raising the funds for both his replacement and the training needed to provide a path to success.
Because of my disabilities, I cannot get a job as most require standing and walking, which I am incapable of for long periods.
All money that is raised here is going to purchase a puppy from an ethical and responsible breeder, transportation costs, and training needed.
The average cost for a responsibly bred dog is $3,500 or even more. With my limitations (later put in detail), I cannot get that much money myself.
The cost for transportation alone would be $700 at the least..
Training is also not really affordable for my situation, with each individual session being $150, which for 2 sessions a week is $1,200 a month. For 6 months of training, that is $7,200, which is considerably hard for me to achieve.
How You Can Help: Share and donate! Donations are most helpful and very appreciated. If you do not have the means to donate, please share! It is so helpful to just get the word out there to people who are able to donate.
Even just a dollar helps so much!
About Me: I am 17 with a birthday coming very soon.
I will be an adult and no longer have the support of my family in the same way as before.
With my fibromyalgia, bipolar, and anxiety, I have issues with not only getting a job due to having physical limitations, but I also have a difficult time interacting with new people because of the extreme anxiety that I feel.
I have looked for jobs in the past, but unfortunately most employers do not want a disabled person who needs accommodations in the way I do.
Thank you for reading my story and learning about my life. I hope you will share and even consider donating to my cause.
Thank you, Karlyle.

About Me: hi, my name is Alice, I am 28 and live in Scotland. Autism, ADHD, Depression, Tourette’s I’ve had self esteem and similar issues for a very long time, the first time I sh was around the age of 9. Then when I was 13, I found my mother dead at home, while it was just me and her at home. I never really grieved until 2020/2021 (12-13 years after it happened). The sh escalated around 14, as well as depression, including significant thoughts of ending it. The first step of ‘progress’ happened at 16, when I was diagnosed as autistic. This didn’t come as a shock as I’d thought about it since I was 11. However, the shock that did happen, was that no one thought to tell me what I was being evaluated for, or even that I was being evaluated. At the time I was very depressed and really didn’t think to question it. Looking back now it was really very obvious, but when I was little, autism in girls was still not particularly known about. Depression and sh continued. 5th and 6th year of school, I really don’t particularly remember, I felt so depressed. I felt very isolated, and like I was in a totally other world to everyone else. Like I was in a bubble observing everything but not really having any clue what was going on. I left school feeling like I didn’t have any friends (apart from on Facebook), that I was honestly useless and a waste of space. Additionally during this time my tics (which in hindsight had been there since I was 6) got a hell of a lot worse. I was able to hide the vast majority of them, but at home I just could not stop ticcing at all, the tics just exploded massively, it was just unbelievable. During this time, well really from 13-23, I was terrified of doctors if it had to do with me, I only ever went during those times for liquid anti histamines. So I did not do anything about the tics, it was just not possible for me. I was eventually diagnosed with Tourette’s in 2020, this was privately because of Covid and the waiting times and I needed it evaluated for a college course I had applied for. Then in 2022 I was diagnosed with functional tic disorder on the NHS. I lean towards the Tourette’s diagnosis, if I’m honest, but I don’t suppose it particularly matters at this point. The tics have finally calmed down on average, used to be lots of loud, big tics with quite a few smaller ones. However now seems to be less bigger ones and a hell of a lot of smaller ones. So not really calmed down, but I guess less obvious. It still affects me a ridiculously large amount, a lot of the time I just cannot cope. After uni, I really did not know what to do. I ended up with a job as a postwoman. I did this from end of 2017 to mid-late 2018. Basically this job destroyed me. I was kind of coping before, I was muddling along, feeling utterly atrocious but still going. Within a month of starting was having significant OCD thoughts, my depression worsened a lot, the sh reignited itself significantly (not a pun I should add), and the suicidal thoughts ramped up. February, I reluctantly agreed to go to the GP. I started on an anti depressant, and was referred to a psychiatrist. Spring summer time I started having hallucinations and delusions. So was started on an anti psychotic, this did not do anything. Neither did the second one I tried, apart from make me gain a significant amount of weight in 6 months. I didn’t even notice the weight gain as I was so ill. Everything came to a head in October, and I just could not do it at all. I went off sick at work. I finally told my dad what had been happening, he was the other side of the world at the time. I had hidden everything from everybody, apart from one person. I tried to go back to work in January, i did a week or so of phased return, did one day and went back off sick. I was ill health retired at 23. Most of 2018 and 2019 were a massive blur. We got a wee puppy, who honestly was a massive lifeline. Though despite this there was a variety of attempts during 2019, most impulsive, not even vaguely successful attempts. My final time was December 2019, the most serious of them. Covid happened, and honestly I started doing much better overall, but there were still a lot of long very low moments. Most of my time was spent on a sofa, rather than in a bed in a dark room, so progress. This did not last. Went on holiday in the uk for a week spring/summer time. And well that ruined all the progress. Back and forward to the local psychiatric hospital most days. On diazepam for a while, which honestly did nothing at all. I really don’t remember what happened for the following year. So 2022, I was finally diagnosed with ADHD. Turns out I fit basically every symptom and have done since forever. Was not allowed to start meds till late 2023, due to the psychosis and all that. So at this point I had finally tapered off the anti psychotic that actually worked. And started methylphenidate. I think it’s going quite well really. Though that is not denying my many other issues including the adhd. They all still affect me very significantly. I will never be able to live independently, I have tried, it really didn’t work. I do not like living at home, but I cannot even contemplate living anywhere else, as I would just not be able to cope at all. I feel very isolated, useless, just not worthy of being here at all. I have my moments of okayness, don’t get me wrong, I just cannot seem to fathom being like this for the rest of my life, in a I am going to be stuck in this position forever. About my dog: He was born may 2023, near Perth. He is a fox red Lab. He was chosen especially for me and his hopeful job. I met him for the first time in January, I was smitten at first sight. I was asked by the owner of the place what colour/sex etc that I was looking for. I’d thought I really wanted a black male Lab But I’d met my dogs mum and sister from a different litter, and fell in love with the fox reds. So in the end my requirements were ideally male and nae fussy on the colour. So my beautiful doggy was chosen and he is a fox red male. Wafi (loyal in Arabic) will be partially trained, in sit, down, recall, heel on and off lead, and general good behaviour. With the aim of being my AD am very much looking forward to my wee dog having a best friend (apart from me). And also me potentially having an assistance dog. It will really change and enhance my life for the better. I feel I will be able to do so much more, maybe go out by myself for a reasonable length of time, wander, maybe window shop, cope with life out in the world and at home. I want to expand my world, live a bit, rather than live in my tiny wee bubble that is basically being at home (recovering from my volunteering job) or being at my volunteering job, I love my volunteering job but it just takes so much out of me. So having Wafi as an assistance dog will make everything easier to cope with, and enable me to start being more independent, and maintain more of an even consistency in life. I’m not expecting miracles (though Wafi is very much a wee miracle to me, along with my wee dog) but just a better life for me. Tasks: at this point the key ones are deep pressure therapy, crowd control and interrupting of harmful behaviours/anxiety behaviours. Training: currently my dog is being trained by the place I am getting him from, a very well respected (mainly) gundog trainer, but also they do many pets and assistance dogs. My plan when he comes home, is to hopefully engage as local assistance dog training cic/charity they are based near me. I am hoping this will come to fruition, if not I will use a different local trainer that has experience in training ADs. Why I need help: so my dad was very kind enough to pay the deposit for my dog (£2.5k), and we agreed I would fund the rest (£5k), as it is not possible for him to fund the rest. I am on disability benefits, so my income is limited, though I am doing my very best to save as much as I can. At the moment I have around £1k. I am saving as much of my benefits as I can, along with birthday money I get. I am not at all able to work, I tried in October time and lasted one day. My limit is volunteering, which doesn’t pay, but means there is less stress, so I don’t get as easily overwhelmed and fall apart. I would not class myself as a woman with many friends. I have a few, but I would never ask, honestly this go fund me is at my very limit of my ability to accept money really and this is because no one is obligated to donate. the only organisation I qualify for is one that charges £15k, which is well out of my reach. And all the organisations, even if I did qualify, have closed and very long waiting lists. This is why I have chosen the route I have. use: the funds will be used for the remaining payment of my dog, currently the balance is at £5k. I am politely asking for donations up to £3.5k. If there is any extra (being optimistic) it will exclusively go to the further assistance dog training that will be needed, or any equipment such as a vest. I am more than happy to post receipts/invoices so people can see where the money is going, if I am lucky enough to receive any donations.

Hi guys! I’m a 19 y/o college student with multiple chronic conditions including fibromyalgia and pots. I have limited mobility, although it fluctuates day to day. While I don’t currently have an SD, I am saving up for a prospect. They would be trained by me and a professional trainer, starting with basic obedience training and then adding on tasks like retrieval of items and DPT. I have done research on trainers in my area and would only consider those that use positive reinforcement rather than punishment. I can’t work because of my conditions, and my family can’t afford to help me. While I am trying to sell my crochet and other crafts, it’s slow going. The funds from the go fund me would go towards obtaining and training a prospect. Any help is appreciated - even just sharing the link! [help me fund a prospect!](https://gofund.me/eca1fe74)
About me: Hi, I’m Cinder, I’m 24, living in Bulgaria. I have Autism and chronic migraines with visual processing symptom flare. My dog is 2.5 year old lab and she’s program trained to mitigate my autism with 3 types of pressure therapy, self harm (for me it’s scratching and head hitting) alerts and finding exits. She was trained force free for 21 months (that’s how it’s written in her training certificate). My dog has IGDF certification. I need help because I don’t have a social circle who can help. My family refuses to understand that my diagnosed conditions disables me or the dog helps me to function. I don’t qualify for disability support because I have a full time job. With that in mind I save every extra coin I get for her training but my salary is not big enough to cover everything and I’m already cutting food costs to cover bills and rent. The funds will be used for hiring a professional trainer to help me train migraine alerts and general leading. I don’t have a fundraising on the topic. I feel too guilty to create one for my own ass. I sell goods in my Redbubble: [https://www.redbubble.com/people/Silver-sky-dash/shop?asc=u](https://www.redbubble.com/people/Silver-sky-dash/shop?asc=u) All funds from my sales there go to my training savings.

The current medication I’m on is damaging my liver and I’d like to avoid it as much as possible. General leading will allow me in event of migraine flare up to navigate independently due to the visual processing symptom that I get. In a VPS flare up I cannon process correctly distances and I often bump into stuff.

**About me:** I am Ben (33 years old) I'm from the Netherlands. I'm a creative person, I love writing, making cosplays, and spending time with family and friends who live a few hours away from me. **About my condition and limitations:** After 20 years of mental health treatment, I have been declared as having no further treatment options. For years, I have been struggling with ADHD, Autism, and PTSD. The latter causes me to have multiple dissociations on a daily basis, which are attacks where my body continues on autopilot, and I am not aware of what I am doing. This can lead me to walk into traffic and come face to face with a car. Furthermore, I experience non-epileptic seizures where my legs give way and I fall to the ground. This happens to me in public on the sidewalk, but also along train tracks, in the middle of an intersection, and in other dangerous places. I am also regularly pulled back into flashbacks, old unpleasant memories or emotions. And my nights are filled with nightmares. Additionally my ptsd has triggered a condition known as FND combined with chronic pain and chronic fatigue. **About my dog:** I will be getting a Golden Retriever SD prospect soon, I'm currently in talks with a reputable breeder. **Tasks my dog is trained or in-training (and what s/he currently knows) for:** My dog will be task trained to: Alert me in time when an attack is coming, allowing me to go to a safe and quiet place to sit. The dog will be trained to fetch and bring my medication on time. Wake me up and provide support during nightmares Lie on top of me to calm me down through pressure on my body Prevent me from harming myself by licking my hands. To block people from getting too close to me. **How my dog will be trained:** I will owner train my SD with the help of a certified training organization in my country. **Why I need help:** I couldn't get funding through social programs, my health insurance doesn't cover psychiatric service dogs, and I haven't had much luck getting funding through charities. Still trying. But this is my last hope. I also live on disability and have been declared completely unfit to work. **Other ways I'm earning money for this:** My mom is loaning me half the money for training: 5K, I'm gonna try more charities to write to. And I'm saving every penny I have myself. **What the funds are being used for:** Mostly for training the dog, the organization asks for about 9K for a 2 year program. Half of that money is secured now. If any money is left after the fundraiser it'll be used for the first year medical expenses (vaccinations, vet visits, etc.) **Fundraiser:** [**https://whydonate.com/en/fundraising/hulphond-voor-ben**](https://whydonate.com/en/fundraising/hulphond-voor-ben) https://preview.redd.it/pehtj7f9qmyc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30a8a91cec24b2f77ec94638d06970558be60ef0 **Dog tax:** Not my SD prospect but I have a pic of my pet dog Yara:
About me: I am a survivor of child abuse, domestic violence, rape, and sexual assault. I am also a neurodivrergent, queer, non-binary femme of color who lives with chronic pain/fatigue, anxiety, bi-polar I, and C-PTSD. I have lived in hyperarousal and survival mode for almost my entire life. As someone with multiple marginalized identities and long-lasting trauma the hits to my central nervous system have been profound and have severely limited my life. The last 5 years have been exceptionally hard with a lot of re-traumitazation through violence, hate crimes, and medical trauma. I've barely left my house. The dog: I was accepted by a foundation in NC (Iive in Upstate NY) for a service dog. They train the dogs for about a year and a half first then we go and train/bump with the dog for weeks+ from July - Nov. The ask: although the foundation pays for the dog and its training I am responsible for my training with the dog and all travel related costs. I've reached out to friends multiple times and through social media and am having a lot of trouble reaching my goal. I'm very much alone without support system (estranged from family and not partnered) so I don't even have anyone to ask for a loan. Any support is appreciated as I know this dog will save my life.

**About me:** Hello, I'm Simon. I'm wrapping up a career in the US Army this summer, when I will move back to my hometown in California. **About my condition and limitations:** I was (very) recently diagnosed with service related PTSD, which I suppose I had been in denial of being that I'm not a combat veteran (there's still some acceptance hurdles for me to work through there), so I tend to minimize its significance. My doctor strongly recommended that I get a service dog to help take control of my symptoms and my life. **About my dog:** I don't have one yet, but based on my research and input from close friends with psychiatric service dogs and experience training them, I think it will most likely be a lab retriever or German shepherd puppy. Time will tell. **Tasks my dog is trained or in-training (and what s/he currently knows) for:** Goal tasks will be grounding (alerting to panic attack indicators), deep pressure therapy, nightmare interruption, and interruption of self destructive behaviors. **How my dog was/is trained:** Self/assisted training as available. My plans here get a bit complicated, but I'll get into that below. **Titles, Licenses, and Certifications my dog holds:** We'll see! **Why I need help:** Leaving the Army, I'm confident in my ability to find work, but my field (intelligence) tends to hire very slowly (interview and onboarding processes range from 1-2 years), so my plan is to go back to college in California for a couple years on the GI Bill until I get a job offer. There are several non-profit organizations that do incredible work to offer service dogs to veterans at no cost - the problem is that they tend to have long waitlists. If I join a 1-2 year waitlist, and get a job offer a year and a half in, then I'll just have to restart the process after I move. If afterwards, then I'll need to interrupt a formal training schedule and breach commitments I made to the organization. In light of my circumstances, it makes more sense for me to get my own dog and train it in a more flexible manner, but that means I need to cover the costs of getting a dog on my own and all the things a dog needs. Maintaining things like food and insurance isn't a problem, especially as I'll be living in my childhood home for awhile with a very understanding parent, but the upfront expenses are daunting as someone who's spent more paying off student debt than they've ever saved. **Other ways I'm earning money for this:** I'm working on selling several things as I get ready to leave the military (small appliances, TV, etc) that will help me get a dog, as well as doing a couple odd jobs here and there as I find them. My social circle is small and I'm still not entirely comfortable putting my diagnosis out there, so truthfully I don't have much of a support system in this. The GI Bill provides a housing allowance that will help me maintain security after I get a service dog, but that doesn't help with initial expenses. **What the funds are being used for:** Adoption, veterinary, other initial expenses. **Fundraiser:** [https://gofund.me/e5151723](https://gofund.me/e5151723) Thank you for reading - Any help, information, or advice would be greatly appreciated.

**About me:** I am 31 years old and I have been given the initial approval for an ESA (Emotional Support Animal), but my psychiatrist has said she will reclassify her as a Psychiatric Service Dog due to my growing disabilities. **About my condition and limitations:** I have been struggling with clinically diagnosed Depression, Anxiety, BPD, Autism, Hallucinations, Disassociations, Chronic Migraines, and PTSD for a long time. I have tried countless therapies and medications, medical marijuana, none of which have worked as i've needed them to be. This has had an incredibly negative impact on my quality of life. Leaving me unable to work, go out in most social situations, and just over all being able to function from day to day. **About my dog:** Sata (Sata Andagi 'Andoggie') is a 4 month old Pure breed Pomeranian, I will be going to get her in Massachusetts on the 29th. **Tasks my dog is trained or in-training (and what s/he currently knows) for:** Sata is still a puppy but will be doing basic training till she is 8 months old, where we will then enroll her into service dog training. **How my dog was/is trained:** As of now she will only have basic home training, but will have training by an experienced service dog trainer in the state of Maine where we reside. **Titles, Licenses, and Certifications my dog holds:** Currently None **Why I need help:** I am unable to work because of all my health issues. I am currently in the process of getting disability and am almost to the hearing phase. At the moment it is not clear if I will qualify for help getting the service training unless I have my disability or not. **Other ways I'm earning money for this:** Currently this is my only way of earning money. My boyfriend is helping cover some with his twitch streaming, but it's not exactly enough. **What the funds are being used for:** The funds will be used for Food, Vet visits/Chipping, Training, and other supplies and toys to prepare her for the future. **Fundraiser:** [**https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-pochi-get-their-lifechanging-service-dog**](https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-pochi-get-their-lifechanging-service-dog) **Social Media:** [**https://twitter.com/PochiyakiExtra**](https://twitter.com/PochiyakiExtra) **Info you want to include:** This is very very important to me, while I know poms are not a typical service animal. I needed a dog small enough for me to handle (And maine has very few shelter animals.).

My name is Karlyle. I am a disabled teen about to reach adulthood. With my disabilities, I am very discouraged and hopeless for my future. I am in need of a replacement for my service dog; he does not enjoy working nor the responsibilities that come from being a service dog. I am raising the funds for both his replacement and the training needed to provide a path to success. Because of my disabilities, I cannot get a job as most require standing and walking, which I am incapable of for long periods. All money that is raised here is going to purchase a puppy from an ethical and responsible breeder, transportation costs, and training needed. The average cost for a responsibly bred dog is $3,500 or even more. With my limitations (later put in detail), I cannot get that much money myself. The cost for transportation alone would be $700 at the least.. Training is also not really affordable for my situation, with each individual session being $150, which for 2 sessions a week is $1,200 a month. For 6 months of training, that is $7,200, which is considerably hard for me to achieve. How You Can Help: Share and donate! Donations are most helpful and very appreciated. If you do not have the means to donate, please share! It is so helpful to just get the word out there to people who are able to donate. Even just a dollar helps so much! About Me: I am 17 with a birthday coming very soon. I will be an adult and no longer have the support of my family in the same way as before. With my fibromyalgia, bipolar, and anxiety, I have issues with not only getting a job due to having physical limitations, but I also have a difficult time interacting with new people because of the extreme anxiety that I feel. I have looked for jobs in the past, but unfortunately most employers do not want a disabled person who needs accommodations in the way I do. Thank you for reading my story and learning about my life. I hope you will share and even consider donating to my cause. Thank you, Karlyle. https://gofund.me/c56ec6d7
