I am writing to you today to ask for your help in providing Stryder Doescher with a service dog. Stryder is a 15-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with a myriad of medical conditions, including widespread autonomic failure, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (clEDS), epilepsy, and several others. Despite the challenges he faces, Stryder is a happy and resilient young man.
A service dog would provide Stryder with a number of benefits, including:
Assistance with mobility: Stryder often has difficulty walking, and a service dog could help him to get around safely and independently.
Providing emotional support: A service dog can provide companionship and emotional support to Stryder, which can help to improve his quality of life.
Alerting to medical emergencies: A service dog could be trained to alert Stryder to changes in his vital signs, such as a drop in oxygen levels or an oncoming seizure. This could help to prevent serious medical complications.
The cost of training and providing a service dog for Stryder is significant. We are asking for your help in raising the funds needed to make this dream a reality.
There are several ways that you can help:
You can make a financial donation. Any amount will be greatly appreciated.
You can help us get the word out either online or in person by handing out flyers to people and businesses. They can be found here: bit.ly
You can volunteer your time to help with fundraising events. We will be planning several.
You can donate goods or services to be auctioned off at our fundraiser.
