Skagway Fire Department Raises Funds for Service Dog
Jami Leeth, Trapper's mother, recently wrote about a wonderful Skagway community effort to help raise money for an autism/search and rescue service dog for Trapper.
"I am so sorry it has taken me so long to reply. Flu started it, specialist are finally here to see Trapper over the next few days, my husband is the only Family Nurse Practitioner in town until mid-March, we have had two medivacs in a week, our front door is frozen shut, our electricity was out for over a day, and Internet for about three, it has been crazy for about two weeks now. Let me tell you, when it rains it pours or maybe when it snows it turns into a blizzard.:) That's more appropriate.
"Blessing have been pouring down too though. The Skagway Volunteer Fire Departments Award ceremony & dinner. The Skagway Volunteer Fire Dept. presented a check for 4 Paws for Trapper's dog for $1,000. Plus they auctioned off 4 large prime rib dinners & brought in even more money for Trapper's dog. The total donation from The Skagway Volunteer Fire Dept. was $1365!"
Note from Judy: 4 Paws for Ability has approved Trapper for an assistance dog, but the family must raise the funds. All donations to 4 Paws are tax exempt, as it it a 501(c)(3).
