“Ellie is Charlie’s greatest adventure yet, and they were meant to find each other… Ellie alerts to seizures and helps keep Charlie safe, but what she gives him goes so far beyond that.
She gives him confidence to step into the world, comfort when things feel overwhelming, and a loyal best friend for every adventure. She helps regulate the hard moments, eases the scary ones, and somehow always knows exactly what Charlie needs before anyone else does.
Because of Ellie, Charlie gets to be more than a child with medical challenges and a rare disease – he gets to be a fearless, wild, fun-loving 7-year-old boy ready to chase every adventure life puts in front of him. She’s never skipped a beat for him.
Watching their bond is nothing short of magic, and quite literally amazes us every day, and is healing our family through the hardships.”
-Danielle, mom of Charlie & service dog Ellie
