Kyan Needs Your Help to Bring Home Teddy, Her Service Dog!

Meet Kyan! She is a bright, loving young girl who is about to bring someone home who could change her life—Teddy, a specially trained service dog who will offer her comfort, confidence, and daily support in ways no one else can.

Teddy will be more than just a companion. He’ll help Kyan navigate overwhelming environments, stay safe during outings, and provide emotional grounding when the world feels too big. For children like Kyan, a service animal can mean the difference between fear and freedom, isolation and connection.

But specialized service dogs require intensive training—and they come at a high cost. That’s why we urgently need your support. The total cost to train Teddy for Kyan is $5,000, and we are fundraising through the end of May to make it possible.

This fundraiser is organized by Bridge to Independence, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to empowering children and families through inclusive support services. All donations are tax-deductible and go directly toward the placement and training of Teddy through Topaz Assistance Animals.

Every dollar brings Teddy closer to Kyan—and helps build the future she deserves.
