A Dog For Kate
Posted by robbyshobbies on February 23, 2012
A girl. A dog. A chance to be a kid.
Help us raise money to give Kate a life-saving companion!
To all appearances Kate looks like any other 6-year-old with her blonde hair and bright gap-toothed smile and her penchant for dressing up like a princess. But unlike most 6-year-olds, Kate suffers from Type I Diabetes with life-threatening sugar highs that make her hyperactive and emotional and sugar lows that could send her spiraling into a diabetic coma…. A specially trained service dog could save her life.
Diabetic Alert Dogs are highly trained purebreds able to detect the beginning of a sugar high or low long before their companions actually exhibit symptoms. Because of the intense training these service dogs go through and continue to go through after they leave the breeder, they are very expensive.
We’ve already raised $9,184 of the $19,000 cost of the dog. Please help Kate by donating a few dollars and spreading the word.
Any additional money raised will be donated to the purchase of a dog for another child with diabetes.
