Emily McNeeley hasn't added a story.
I have been diagnosed with PTSD, OCD, major depressive disorder, general anxiety disorder, panic attack disorder, borderline personality disorder, and am waiting on testing results for ADHD and several learning disorders. I struggle in day-to-day life to be an adult and function on my own. I rely heavily on my friends to help me through my symptoms and it's not fair to them.
Having a service dog would mean that my friends wouldn't have to babysit me when I get sensory overload at parties or when I am overwhelmed in public places. I rarely go to stores or events alone because I can't handle myself and usually get ushered out by a concerned bystander because I look lost and scared. Among other tasks, a service dog would be a comfort to me in overwhelming situations, would be trained to lead me away from crowds, and be a buffer so that I am less overwhelmed.
A psychiatric service dog is very expensive and can cost upwards of $20,000-#30,000. I, as a college student, cannot afford even half of the amount.
Donations toward my goal would be amazing. Every little bit would add up and help me. I hope to be able to have a service dog before I leave my college town and get a full-time job to help me with the transition.
If you help me with this, no matter how small your contribution, I will be eternally grateful and would love to send you a personalized "Thank You" card!
