An Autism Assistance Service Dog Fundraiser for Marshall

Marshall Mann was officially diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in December of 2011 at the age of 36 months. Marshall is the most loving 5 year old you will ever meet. His smile lights up the room and his excitement for the simplest things is contagious. Marshall loves anything electronic, enjoys chasing bubbles outside, jigsaw puzzles, anything Thomas, Little Einsteins, and race cars. Marshall enjoys having books read to him, wagon rides, playing at the park and also swimming.

4 Paws For Ability is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to place quality service dogs with children with disabilities. They are also one of few organizations who specifically train Autism service dogs for children and are willing to train us as a family to work with Marshall and a service dog. An Autism Assistance Service Dog would provide Marshall with a friend, someone who will stay with him when he is unable to keep up or just can’t handle the noise level or activity level in his surroundings. An Autism Assistance Service Dog will help diffuse or even deter meltdowns. An Autism Assistance Service Dog will greatly improve Marshall’s quality of life by providing love, behavior disruption, improved social interaction, sensory help, transitioning support and tethering/tracking capabilities. Although Marshall has been accepted as a service dog recipient, we need help from the community to make our dream a reality.

It will cost 4 Paws $22,000 to place a service dog with Marshall. We are committed to raising $14,000 in support of the 4 Paws mission and can reach our goal with your help. Please help us in raising these funds to get Marshall the safety and companionship that a service dog will provide for him. We are looking forward to a new addition to the family! Please accept our sincerest Thank You in advance if you can help our cause,
