They are reaching out on behalf of their daughter.<br \/>\nElla is a rising eighth grader. You may have seen her on the fields at<br \/>\nForge Pond, walking with her Daisy Troop in the Memorial Day parade,<br \/>\nperforming in the annual nativity play at the First Congregational Church<br \/>\nor reading in the window seat at the library. <\/p>\n<p>They are seeking our communities support in getting an autism assistance<br \/>\ndog for Ella. After an exhaustive search, they chose to collaborate with<br \/>\nLittle Angels Service Dogs based on their adherence to high training<br \/>\nstandards, track record, and testimonials. Each dog\u2019s training is<br \/>\npersonalized to help their individual handlers needs and every dollar<br \/>\ndonated goes directly to the training and placement of service dogs. <\/p>\n<p>Ella has completed the rigorous approval process, and the family is now<br \/>\ntransitioning to the fundraising stage. Families are responsible for<br \/>\nfundraising so that monies raised go directly to connecting dogs with<br \/>\nparticipants rather than supporting a fundraising staff. They are looking<br \/>\nto the community to help Ella reach her fundraising goal of $30,000. It is<br \/>\nhumbling to ask for help, but they sadly are not able to reach this goal on<br \/>\ntheir own. As a result, they are reaching out in the hopes that you share<br \/>\nthis post, post the attached flyer and\/or donate today to help Ella achieve<br \/>\nher life changing goal. <\/p>\n<p>Please join them! Your donation will bring them one step closer to their<br \/>\ngoal!
