Hello,
My name is Jackie Rivera. I would like to ask for your help for my son, Johnell. He would very
much like a service dog to help him and be his constant companion. Let me explain why this gift
of a service dog would change our life.
Johnell is 15 years old and he has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). DMD is a genetic
condition that causes muscle degeneration and eventually leads to an early death. The average
life expectancy for a boy with DMD is 25 years old.
Throughout his life, I have watched Johnell’s muscles weaken. It has been heartbreaking to see
the disease progress and steal my son’s strength bit by bit. The years have brought challenges
and struggles since his diagnosis at age 4. He eventually lost his ability to walk and is now
confined to a wheel chair. He is dependent on me for all his needs.
Even as the disease has progressed, Johnell has stayed positive, focused and as active as possible.
He loves to spend time with his family (especially his nephews), tell jokes, Facebook with his
friends, travel and play wheelchair soccer. He always had a smile and a joke for everyone!
All of his favorite things came to an end last year as his DMD started to affect his heart muscle.
This is a common problem for people with Duchenne’s. It is called heart failure. It means that
the heart can no longer pump the right way because the muscle is too weak from the Duchenne’s.
As his heart became sicker and sicker, Johnell felt worse and worse. He was tired and didn’t
want to eat. He struggled with his breathing and coughed all the time. He didn’t want to travel
and hang out with friends. He just wanted to sleep.
We brought Johnell to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in the Spring of 2014 to try to get help
for his heart. The heart and Duchenne doctors worked on Johnell for weeks to try to get his
heart and lungs to work better. They tried medicines and therapies, but nothing worked. Out of
options, the heart doctors offered to put a little pump in Johnell’s heart to do the work that his
own heart couldn’t. The pump is called a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD). This was
our only hope, so we said yes! Even as sick as Johnell was before the surgery, he listened to the
education about the device and agreed. He wanted to live and feel better again.
So in June 2014, the heart surgeon at Cincinnati Children’s put the LVAD into Johnell. The
LVAD is called the HeartWare Ventricular Assist Device. The HeartWare attaches to Johnell’s
left side of his heart. It pumps blood from the left side of his heart to the rest of his body. It was
a big surgery, but Johnell pulled through! After a couple weeks of recovery, he had color in his
cheeks again, energy to get out of bed, race around in his wheelchair and laugh!
Over the next couple weeks, we learned to use the HeartWare and we were eventually
discharged. One thing we learned is that we always need to listen for alarms on the HeartWare.
Page 2 of 2
The alarms will go off if anything is wrong with the pump. Since the pump is now his lifeline, it
is critical that we keep it functioning and that a trained care provider knows if anything is wrong.
As Johnell’s mother, I am so grateful that his life has been saved. To see my son laughing,
joking and enjoying life again is such a gift! But at 15 years old, he still wants his independence.
He doesn’t want me hovering over him at all times. This is why a service dog would be such a
blessing to us. The dog could alert me to Johnell’s needs. We could teach the dog to listen for
alarms on all his medical equipment and alert someone if Johnell needs help. The dog could also
do simple things that are impossible for Johnell to do alone: open a door, turn on a faucet, get a
cell phone, and grab a dropped LVAD battery. The list is endless.
Most of all, I would love to see my son with this amazing companion to live his life with. This
dog would be a sweet friend to be by his side always.
I wish I could afford this dog by myself, but I can’t. The money we have covers Johnell’s
medical needs and little else. This is why I need your help. Anything you could give to help me
pay for this dog, the travel to pick him up and our training would be so appreciated.
Please let me give this amazing gift to my son. Thank you.
