Help me get a much needed Service Dog
Donation protected
Hey, I’m Finner or maybe Lucy to some of you. I’m 17 and about to go into adulthood after being homebound and bedridden since 11 due to Lupus, P.O.T.S., hyper-mobility and a number of other disorders. For the last 6-7 years we’ve done nothing but search for solutions, trying everything with even a remote chance of helping and yet even with the maximum resources available to us I am debilitated by pain.
I have had nothing to do but grieve the life I can’t live and prioritize doing what hurts the least over what I actually want. I’ve lost my whole childhood and I don’t want to lose more time that I’ll never get back. I believe a service dog could help me in every facet and difficulty in my life. From aiding with mobility, sensing lupus flares before they happen, and assisting me with the severe mental tolls of living in pain. this is the first time in years I’ve actually had hope for something giving me a chance at a future.
I would be immensely grateful for any support. People often ask how they can help since my situation isn’t one that just passes with help or time. This is how. Investing in a service dog is investing in my freedom against my pain, independence as an adult, and a life worth living.
