Mackenzie's Service Dog Fund
Donation protected
Hello my name is Mackenzie Van Boxel and I sincerely need your help. I have an illness that no doctor can diagnose and we only have a pseudo-diagnosis of hypersomnia and parasomnia. Hypersomnia is the inverse of insomnia where my body requires at least 12 hours of sleep to function. Parasomnia is the illness which causes me to go into an unconcious state when I become stressed or too tired. In this state I do things such as walk, talk, pick up tables, and run into things repeatedly. Its very dangerous for me to be alone because both of these illnesses can affect me at any time causing me to pass out in public or wander into dangerous places while in my sleepwalking like state. Due to this we desperately need a service dog to watch over me, keep me safe, and help me in my daily life. The money we raise will go to paying for the service dog as they are very expensive and aren't covered at all by insurance. This covers the cost of the dog training, the dog itself, and the fee of the service facility. We need the money by the time we get the dog which will be in may May or June of 2017. We desperately need the money because we cant afford this on our own. It will mean so much to me and my family to have peace of mind that I can go anywhere and have someone with me watching over me and knowing that I will be safe. We will be forever grateful if you would contribute. Thank you so much.
