We are no longer receiving donations for 4 Paws For Ability as the $15,000 goal to start training a service dog for Tyler has been met! Thank you to every single one of you who prayed and donated and passed along Tyler's story!  We will be starting the second phase of the project and opening up a new fundraising project to raising the additional $10,000 needed to get to Ohio, train with the dog for 2 weeks, and return home. The new funds will be held in an ABLE savings account for Tyler to use when we are told by 4 Paws the dog is ready to train with us...in about 18 months. Thanks again everyone...for making this possible!!
Tyler became vaccine injured at 18 months and lost verbal communication skills. He was diagnosed with Autism at age 3 and developed Type 1 Diabetes at age 5. He also suffers from Myoclonic Seizures, Hemiplegic Migraines and ADHD.
Despite his challenges, our sweet spirited and gentle boy takes on each day with joy and laughter. He loves being around people, playing outdoors, riding his scooter and bike, and is attracted to anything that moves. His favorite place is the beach with its unlimited sand and water, and of course the warmth of the sun.
Please join us in helping provide him with a multipurpose service dog trained to alert with diabetic highs and lows, bring calm and diffuse meltdowns with behavior disruption through kisses, deep pressure, touch and nuzzling, ability to track him when he runs, assist in his socialization, and provide him a sense of security and companionship.
Thank you for reading Tyler's story and your involvement and contribution and making a difference in Tyler's life and development!
