The Bender Twins with Williams Syndrome

My name is Andi Bender; I am raising funds for two reasons:

First, I am in the process of getting the girls with Williams Syndrome a service dog. The cost is anywhere from $17,000 to $50,000. I am doing several fundraisers. However, there are so many other expenses besides the actual dog. Initially, we need unique collars, leashes, bedding and food.

Second, their education is failing, and I need an advisor to assist in navigating the educational rights for both girls. This advisor is $4000/per year. Hopefully, we will not need her after next year. Our girls are nine in the 4th grade of special education, but the IEP reflects Pre-K to 1st grade. We are concerned that the further behind they get, the worse it will be if we don't get them on track NOW.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.
