You did it. ❤️
In less than 48 hours, this community raised the $20,000 needed for Emmy’s service dog.
I don't think I can adequately put into words what it has meant to our family to watch so many people rally around this little girl. People donated, shared her story, told their friends, brought in cash, and helped in ways we never could have anticipated.
Because of all of you, Emmy is getting her service dog. ❤️🐾
So what happens next?
Now Emmy moves into the next part of the process — being matched with the right dog for her. From there, her dog will be trained specifically for Emmy and her needs.
That process can take around a year, and then comes the part we've all been working toward: Emmy and her family will travel to Ohio, where they'll spend two weeks learning and training alongside her dog before finally bringing them home together.
That trip will come with another set of expenses — airfare, a place to stay for two weeks, transportation, meals and time away from work.
For those who would like to continue helping Emmy on this journey, a separate fundraiser has been created to help her family cover those travel expenses when the time comes.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for loving this girl and showing up for our family. We will never forget it. ❤️
Now we wait for Emmy's match. 🐾
