Anonymous angel helps make service dog training easier
When 4 Paws for Ability approves a child for a service dog, the child’s family goes through an intense fundraising process in order to pay for the personalized dog training. Many of the families also create blogs for their children. Once the funds are there, the family is assigned a future training group. Heather P., one of the parents of the next training session (held in Xenia, Ohio) just posted to the 4 Paws for Ability Social Networking site, and she gave me permission to share it:
I just wanted to share with everyone about the package I received from Fed Ex today! To provide a little background info: I was contacted last week by an “anonymous angel” about helping us with some of our hotel expenses. I knew I’d be receiving something in the mail soon but didn’t expect it to come via Fed Ex!
It was like Christmas in my house as Noah and I tore into that box!! Inside was some bath tub toys for Noah (one of his favorite things!), 2 books, and a beanie stuffed duck that quacks!! I’ll admit, that duck will probably drive me crazy before the days end, but he’s one happy boy!! Those were Noah’s goodies! Inside was also a letter explaining that I’d find two certificates good for one night each at the hotel we will be staying at when we go to Ohio for training!!
That’s over $200 worth of savings for us!! Praise God!! I’m so very grateful to this special angel and I hope they know that they will be blessed for the blessing they have given us!! Thank you God for sending this special Angel to us!
And to think, they found Noah’s blog through a google search!!! God works in mysterious ways!!
Don’t you just love anonymous angels?
