Hello, I’m Micheline.
I’m a proud mom
of two grown children, four stepchildren, and eight grandchildren.
My children and grandchildren bring immense joy to my life.
I work as an
office administrator at a busy elementary school, where the children
add light and fun to my day.
Summer days at
our family cottage, leisurely bike rides, snowshoeing and spending
time with my grandchildren, family and friends are activities that I enjoy.
However, my days
are frequently disrupted by exhaustion or the fear of a seizure.
Epilepsy and anxiety have led to the cancellation or avoidance of
many social plans. Even simple tasks like shopping or taking a walk
alone are stressful.
Anxiety and
stress are significant triggers for my seizures, making it a matter
of when, not if, a seizure will occur. My mind is constantly on high alert!
Service dogs have
been proven to offer companionship and help reduce stress. In the
event of a seizure, they can alert for help, provide a sense of
security, and offer comfort.
When I discovered
Kingston 4 Paws Service Dogs (K4Paws) and their life-changing
impact, I knew I had to apply.
K4Paws is a
registered charity that relies on donations. They provide trained
service dogs to children and adults with autism, physical,
neurological or mental health issues to provide them with more
independence and confidence.
Please help me
support K4Paws and my efforts to pay it forward and reach my goal.
Thank you
❤️
