Paws 4 Willem
|
Willem is a delightful, good-natured, 16-year old with an
Intellectual Disability, Anxiety Disorder, Language Learning
Disability and ADHD. He loves to connect with people but his language
challenges cause him severe anxiety. When engaging with others, even
if they are familiar to him, Willem worries about people’s reactions
and whether they understand what he is trying to tell them.
If you have seen Willem around the neighbourhood, you know he
loves animals, especially dogs.
He will approach all dogs and quickly gain their trust. People are
repeatedly surprised by his gentleness and the very special bond he
creates with dogs. At times, Willem is so anxious he is unable to move
forward. We have used our family dog, Whisky, to encourage Willem to
take part in events that are stressful to him, such as taking group
pictures with his hockey team, or approaching a new person or a new
environment. Having a dog beside him gave Willem the courage to be
part of his first hockey team picture, and this at the age of 15.
We have seen the impact a dog can have for someone like Willem. We
are thrilled that Willem has been approved for a service dog from
Kingston 4 Paws Service Dogs (K4PSD). This amazing organization will
pair Willem with the right dog for him and his needs.
K4PSD receives no government funding and relies entirely on
encouragement from the general public, corporate sponsors, fundraising
events, and community supporters. We are hoping to raise funds so that
Willem, and others like him, can benefit from the magic a service dog
can provide. Kingston 4 Paws is a registered charity and provides a
tax receipt for all contributions over 20$.
As Willem grows into a young man, a service dog and your support
will provide him with the safety, comfort and strength to tackle new
challenges and succeed!
Thank you for your support.
