Help Fund Madelynn's Service Dog

Donation protected
Hi, I'm Madelynn and this is a fundraiser to help fund my service dog goals.
I had a stroke due to my AVM (Arteriovenous malformations) in the brain, which I was born with. The AVM rupture left me with aphasia, my verbal talking expressions are limited, and right hemiparesis - which means my right side is extremely affected. I don’t have full control of my right arm and no control of my right fingers. But it does not stop there, I have challenges with walking mobility too; balance, unsteady walking, and distances.
Although I had a stroke, my dreams remained the same. I desire to have a grand adventure; visiting national parks, national forests, and state parks. But it’s not about visiting beautiful places, but also taking pictures and hiking.
Hiking is where my service dog will step in. They will...
  • Balance me when the trail gets to unsteady ground
  • Walking with my gate more steady
  • Walking on beaches and lakes
Hiking is not only where my service dog will be, but it will be regular, street walking as well. They will...
  • Act as my counterweight
  • Walking down and up a hill
  • Walking downstairs with no handrail
  • Walking in moving transportation (bus or train)
  • Bracing
That's not all. They will help me get...
  • Undressed with long sleeves (instead of using my teeth)
  • Help me with zippers
  • Shopping bag
  • Getting things when I get tired
  • Getting my socks and shoes.
They also help me with aphasia, when I get frustrated, they can put their head on me and distract me.
These are just a few. My dog will come from SIT Service Dogs, where they breed and rescue Labrador Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers Mixes.
I’m asking for $25,235 because the dog itself will cost $20,000, dog graduation will cost $2,500, the gear- harness- being $735 (BLD’s Mobility Support Harness (MSH)), goggles, coat, booties, etc.. will cost around $2,000.
You want to learn more how AVM affected me, before and after click here, Madelynn Bramm and all my story will be there.
If you are interested in obtaining a one of my aesthetically pleasing Landscape Prints for your home as a donation. Landscapes will be a beautiful addition to any home.
If you are contributing to GoFundMe, purchasing a print, or just want to learn the AVM in general, thank you.
Signed, Madelynn Bramm
