Eliana's family's story: Life can sometimes feel overwhelming for a teen, especially when you have learning and mental health challenges that are sometimes severe enough to warrant hospitalization. Hope is on the horizon as Eliana's doctors are recommending a service dog, and we have been accepted into the program by Merlin's KIDS! We appreciate any support as we pursue this to help our daughter be able to better navigate school and social situations, and to keep her out of the hospital. Once we raise 50% of our goal, we will be matched with a dog and start individual training, and with your help we can have the service dog placed within a year! Any amount will help us achieve that goal.
