Hi, my name is Charlie.  

I am six years old.  I was diagnosed with Autism when I was two years old. I am non-verbal and have no real sense of danger. I love swimming, swinging, my trampoline, and my iPad! I use my iPad to help me talk to my family, friends and teachers.

I currently have a hard time sitting in my class because I get overwhelmed when too many people are around me.  I sometimes try to wander or run away so everyone must keep an extra close eye on me.  If I were to leave my home or school, I would not be able to find my way home or tell anyone who I am or where I live.

I love dogs. I am approved for an Autism service dog through Kingston 4 Paws Service Dogs.  When I have my service dog, I will be able to go to the store with my family. I will be able to sit at my desk in my classroom with less anxiety. My parents will be able to take me on walks, If I decided I want to run from them My dog will be trained to sit so I cannot run away. The service dog will also be trained to give me deep pressure, for sensory relief, to make me feel safe at night so I can sleep without being scared.

The cost for the training of the service dog is more than $20,000 and we as a family are not asked to pay any of this. All we are asked to do, if able, is fundraise to offset some of the costs. Kingston 4 Paws receives no funding and only runs off of donations.

Please help me on my fundraising journey to get my very special friend.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
