A Service Dog for Megan
My name is Megan and I have been struggling with ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression for over a decade.
Even before the global pandemic, my anxiety had sky-rocketed and brought my life to a screeching halt. While I was blessed with a wonderful family I can lean on for support during my worst times, I have been unable to hold down a job or do most of the activities I used to enjoy. Often, I am even unable to leave my house.
The opportunity to get a service dog will change my life.
Anyone who knows me is well aware of my love for dogs, and having a service dog will allow me to achieve a life I had mere glimpses of in the last decade. With a service dog to help me manage my more demanding symptoms, I would be able to work and not have panic attacks in the middle of the day while staying focused on the job at hand. I would finally have the independence to go grocery shopping on my own without shaking so hard I need to hang on to a cart to walk. Or even just to go out in a crowd and not feel like I am suffocating. I would love to finally be able to go for a walk, on a whim, just because the weather is nice, or go to the theater and watch my favorite shows again without needing days to recover after.
A service dog would also give me the tools to finally be open with others. I could volunteer my time to share my passions with them and find people with similar interests I can call friends and make meaningful connections. Hopefully, I may even find a person I can love one day to call my partner.
Lastly, having a service dog would allow me to take classes and work toward a college degree. So I could find the independence that I have never truly had and relieve the financial burden that I place on my family while also contributing to my community.
I can not stress enough how grateful I am for any contribution.
