We are raising money for our daughter, who happens to have Autism and ADHD, to get a service dog. The service dog will allow her greater independence by providing safety, access to the community, and support.

Our daughter, Sydney, is an amazing, spunky, caring 5-year-old who happens to be autistic and ADHD. She faces daily challenges with an overactive threat response, seeking sensory input, anxiety, and safety awareness. We’ve discovered that an autism service dog could be life-changing for her.
Why a Service Dog?
A highly trained autism service dog would provide Sydney with:
• Safety & Security – Search and rescue during an elopement episode and providing a sense of calm in overwhelming situations.
• Emotional Regulation & Comfort – Offering co-regulation, deep pressure therapy, companionship to reduce anxiety and keep her in her “thinking brain.”
• Greater Independence – Assisting with daily tasks, transitions, and accessing the community.
This service dog won’t just be a pet—it will be a lifeline for Sydeny and a key member our family. Unfortunately, the cost of the dog, training and placement is $20,000-$30,000, which is beyond our means.
How You Can Help
We are asking for your support in any way possible. Prayers, donations, shares, and words of encouragement all make a difference! Every dollar brings us one step closer to providing Beatrice with the support she needs.
