Our family would like to thank everyone for helping to make our dream become a reality. The $13,000 goal has been met to qualify Andrew for placement of an autism service dog through 4 Paws for Ability.
A special thank-you goes to Messiah Lutheran Church, Walter S. and Evan C. Jones Foundation, Olpe Lions Club, H. Dale Buck Fund, employees of Menu Foods Midwest and Norfolk Iron & Metal and all the many individuals who so generously donated to this cause. We are blessed to be surrounded by such loving and supportive people.
A dog will soon be chosen for Andrew and will begin its eight months of training. We will then spend two weeks in Ohio learning how to work with the dog before Andrew brings his special friend home in September.
Once again, thank you again for your support and God bless!
