Take a moment to think about your daily life. Going to work or school, running errands, going out to eat, going to the movies or the mall, going places with family or friends.
Now imagine doing those things with Cerebral Palsy. Dealing with tight muscles that make every step harder to take and poor balance and coordination. Imagine not being able to step up a small curb or be able to cross the street without help. Imagine not being able to walk in crowds because of changes in pace or being able to step easily from cement to grass or sand. Imagine falling in public and not being able to get up. That has been my life Every. Single. Day. Not only is is mentally exhausting to watch every step I take and plan ahead to avoid any issues, its frustrating when you have to rely on the help of others to get to where you want to go.
I do not go places because I don't know if I will be able to get around or I just dont want to feel like a burden having others help me all of the time. That means I spend a lot of time at home alone.
With a mobility dog I will no longer have to depend on others. Yes, the things that stop me now still wont be as easy for me as they are for others, but they will be things I can deal with MYSELF. I can go where I want, when I want without having another person there for help. I can experance a freedom I have never had before!
Little Angels Service Dogs will be training a dog to help me. I am doing what I can to help raise the funds needed, but being physically limited it's hard to do some things that would bring donations in. I am asking that you consider making a donation. In the end this will help me have the independence I am seeking. Any amount is a true gift and brings me closer to a life of freedom. I am grateful for every dollar.
Thank you all :)
