A Personal Request

Hey folks. I have a personal request here.
If you can take a moment out of your day and learn a bit more about the Dogs For Autism project, I would really appreciate it.
Dogs for Autism, a 501(c)3 organization, began in 1991 as Dogs for Disabled. Founded by nationally known trainer Connie Cleveland, the program trained service dogs for a wide variety of disabilities for more than a decade.
I had never heard of the program, nor did I have any idea so many children are diagnosed with autism each year. My friend Bridget and her husband are dealing with this very situation.
After five years of tears and frustration, depression and blaming ourselves, thinking we were failures of some sort despite raising two older girls just fine, our youngest was finally diagnosed properly as Autistic.
If you can, why not head over to their daughter's page at Dogs for Autism and drop a little something in the donation cup. I sure would appreciate it.
