Georgia Teacher-Parent Organizes Football Fundraiser
Kelly Martin, a geography teacher at North Forsyth High School, is a single mother of two boys and she has boundless energy and a heart for children with disabilities. She originally had the idea of a staff game to raise funds to buy an autism dog for her youngest son, Carter, who has "classic autism" or Kanner's syndrome.
"Through numerous donations," says the North Forsyth County News, "she's already raised the $13,000 plus necessary for her son's dog and training. But the game will go on, so others can be helped." And she's doing this with a broken wrist. Read about Kelly Martin's commitment to the ideals of 4 Paws for Ability by clicking here.
I announced the goals for Carter earlier in my blog. Click here to read the full story.
Note from Judy: 4 Paws for Ability is an amazing nonprofit organization located in Xenia, Ohio. It provides highly trained service dogs in many areas, but does require that approved families raise funds to train the dog. Please consider this child whose life will change significantly upon receiving an assistance dog. Read the testimonials. Reading them could change your life. It changed mine.
