Needing Service Dog for Epilepsy

Donation protected

My name is Chris Jacobo and Ive been struggling with Epilepsy since 2009. Since 2014 my seizures have gotten 100 times worse. I went from 4 seizures in two years to about 4 a day. Now that i have so many my famly of 6 are always worried. This will give everyone peace of mind! My kids are always on high alert and i feel like im taking away from their childhood.  My wife busts her butt to support this family. Ive been unable to work for 2 years, my license has been suspended due to uncontrollable seizures.

Whether its $0.01 or even a $1.00. I will greatly appreciate it as I am getting a Labrador from Riverbank, Ca. Someone that is from my community and wants to help my cause. I know it is expensive, but all the money will be going towards purchasing the dog and then training for the dog and with me.

Why I need a training dog?

It can Alert me when they're coming on .It could alert me an hour before or even a minute. Just depends. Once I have my seizure he will be trained on what to do. Depending on the type of seizure he will be able to protect me and various ways. He will try and relax me and comfort me. Protecting me from hurting myself once the seizure has begun until the end of it. Him comforting me could also help to stop the seizure.

Letting me knowing when they're coming is a step closer to living a normal life again. It will put everyone at ease especially if I'm home alone. Its a step towards my life, my kids childhood, getting rid of all these nasty pills, getting my license back, having a job and being a little more of me!
