About this campaign

We are raising money for a service dog for Amy, who is learning to deal with her PTSD. She is one of the 14% of children who suffered a trauma during her childhood and developed PTSD. A service dog trained for PTSD can help their handler by blocking people from getting too close, getting attention of the handler if they zone out, pulling the handler to an exit, and giving the handler deep pressure therapy to help calm the handler down.

We have been selected by CARES, Inc. to receive a service dog. At most it will take 2 years to receive the dog. Each service dog is trained for the handler’s need. By the end of the 2 years or by the end of the training, we must have raised the funds.

If you choice to pick up the shirt, we will be doing an event Dec 2nd where you can pick it up. Check out our Facebook Page FHPTSD for details.

Think about a typical Friday night. You get ready to hit the bars or a concert. Maybe you'll wear the new outfit that's sure to turn heads. Calling friends and making plans on where to meet inside. When you get there, it's packed. You shove your way into the venue to meet up with friends. The night was a blast. Now we look at the same night through someone whose fighting PTSD.

You want to go to the event but you begin having an anxiety attack because you're worrying about how busy it's going to be. When you try to see how busy it might be, you get the impression that it is the event of the year. You talk to friends to be there but that doesn't seem to calm you down. It takes 45 minutes to talk yourself into going. You get to the venue and see it is busy and lose control over the anxiety. 30 minutes to an hour later you're able to make it home. As depression is setting in, you isolate yourself for the night. This becomes your normal.

As you can see the second view isn't the life you would want to live. But it can be a sample of how people with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) live. Other symptoms could be nightmares, flashbacks, insomnia, heightened reactions, depression, and/or hostility.
