Hello! So, this little boy is my nephew, Zaine, who is 3 years old. When he was 2 years and 4 months old, he was diagnosed with autism. This affects the way he communicates and relates to other people, the way he makes sense of the world around him and the way he goes about his daily life.
Our family has recently discovered service dogs, an assistance dog that is trained specifically for people with disabilities. Not only will a dog make a wonderful companion for Zaine, an animal lover (he will literally stroke every dog that walks by him), it will also keep him safe and assist with the struggles he faces every day. What seems the norm to us, can be tedious to an autistic person.
Unfortunately these dogs don’t come free nor cheap. The asking price is €8150 (convert that into whatever currency you use), something that we are working to get. Without attention we are without funds, and we have been setting up events just around our area.
Being the only family member with a Tumblr account I decided to take matters into my own hands and share this with you! We all know how fast a post can be blown up via this website and so I want to bring this to people’s attention. Please share, talk about, and if you can, donate!!!
He is such a bright, energetic and loving little boy and has made such an impact on everyone who has had the pleasure of meeting him. He deserves the best and this furry friend might change his life, for the better.
You can donate as much as you want or can (every little bit helps) HERE and contact me via my ask box with any queries!
