We've reached our goal!



We had overwhelming support from our community and raised over $23,000! Not only did we reach our goal, but we were able to help get a service dog for a second child. Thank you to everyone who has helped us!

This is a picture of our service dog, Hans. He is a German Shepherd, and we will be getting him in September! At that time we will travel to Xenia, OH for a very intense 2 weeks of training to become certified service dog handlers. We are very excited and the summer is flying by. Only 64 days until we leave-not that we're counting!

I googled the name Hans...turns out that it is a derivative of the word John and it means "Yahweh is gracious". That about sums it up don't you think!
