Adriana Torres - Miscelânea Autista hasn't added a story.
Hello,
my name is Adriana Torres. I'm a fifty year old Brazilian woman. I majored in marketing administration, and later specialized in communication, in 2004. I have been engaged with human rights activism since 2009.
I was diagnosed autistic four years ago, and since then I've been studying my childhood special interest: animals. I changed my career and now I work with dogs. I took several courses on positive training with the best Brazilian specialists in the subject: Dante Camacho, Carolina Jardim, Bruno Leite, among others.
I live in Belo Horizonte, capital of Minas Gerais, in a house with my son, my husband, five dogs and six cats, and I have a dream: to train assistance dogs for other disabled people.
There are no good schools for service dog training here, and several assistance dog trainers are very punitive with their dogs. There is also a large number of empoverished people with disabilities facing social vulnerability, and they don't have the money to acquire an assistance dog to help them. I believe Atlas Academy can help me improve the quality of dog training assistance in my country and help these people: I plan on selling my services to those who can pay for them and offering the service, on a voluntary basis, to those who cannot afford to pay. I believe it's the right thing to do. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to pay for the Atlas program; $3,500 is much, much money in Brazil and for me.
You will notice that the amount I am trying to raise is just to pay Atlas Academy . I believe that I might still experience financial difficulties in the coming months, because I might need to do less paid work to dedicate myself to the course, but I will see it through. Can I count on your support?

Best wishes,
meu nome é Adriana Torres. Sou uma brasileira de cinquenta anos. Me formei em administração de marketing e atuei com vendas técnicas e posteriormente na gestão da comunicação de marketing por 25 anos. Estou engajada com o ativismo de direitos humanos desde 2009.
Fui diagnosticada autista há quatro anos, e desde então venho estudando meu interesse especial de infância: os animais. Mudei de carreira e agora trabalho com cães. Fiz vários cursos de treinamento positivo com os melhores especialistas brasileiros no assunto: Dante Camacho, Carolina Jardim, Bruno Leite, entre outros.
Moro em Belo Horizonte, capital de Minas Gerais, em uma casa com meu filho, meu marido, cinco cachorros e seis gatos, e tenho um sonho: treinar cães de assistência para outras pessoas com deficiência como eu.
Não há boas escolas para treinamento de cães de assistência aqui, e vários treinadores de cães de assistência são muito punitivos com seus cães. Há também um grande número de pessoas com deficiência em situação de vulnerabilidade social, e que não têm dinheiro para treinarem um cão de assistência para ajudá-las. Acredito que a Atlas Academy pode me ajudar a melhorar a qualidade do treinamento de cães de assistência no Brasil e a ajudar essas pessoas: pretendo vender meus serviços para quem pode pagar e oferecer o serviço, de forma voluntária, para quem não pode pagar. Eu acredito que é a coisa certa a fazer. Infelizmente, não tenho dinheiro para arcar com o programa Atlas: $ 3.500 é muito, muito dinheiro no Brasil e para mim.
É por isso que estou aqui, pedindo que me ajude a ajudar.
Você notará que o valor que estou tentando arrecadar é apenas para pagar a Atlas Academy. Acredito que ainda possa passar por dificuldades financeiras nos próximos meses, pois talvez precise fazer um trabalho menos remunerado para me dedicar ao curso, mas vou até o fim. Posso contar com o seu apoio?
