Kierra is a 13-year-old awesome, caring kid who loves animals, camping, fishing, the outdoors, and video games. She has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. She can benefit from a service animal.
Kierra has been previously diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Level-1 (requiring support), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (moderate) with deficits in executive functioning, along with specific learning disorders (dyslexia and dysgraphia).
Kierra has been approved to receive an autism assistance service dog through a well-respected organization called 4 Paws for Ability (https://4pawsforability.org). They are located in Xenia, Ohio. Through their breeding and training program they place approximately 100 dogs each year.
A service dog will work with her to provide behavior direction. The tasks will include sensory input from deep pressure, calming, and redirection. All of these items will assist with meltdowns, sensory needs, and help her navigate daily challenges.
The total cost of a service dog is $20,000. The benefits to Kierra will be priceless but the reality is $20,000 is a lot of money. Once we have the required donation amount Kierra will be put on the list for her service dog. We would love if you would consider partnering with us to help Kierra get a much needed service dog.
