Help Me Fund a Therapy Dog 🐾

Hi, my name is Sophie, and I’m fundraising to help cover the cost of a therapy dog that will support my mental health and wellbeing.

I live with complex mental health challenges, and on top of that I’m a solo parent. Day-to-day life can be overwhelming, and I’ve been working closely with my counsellor and GP to find ways to create more stability and safety for both myself and my child. One of the supports strongly recommended to me is a therapy dog. A therapy dog would provide grounding during panic attacks, help regulate my nervous system, and offer consistent emotional support during moments of distress. Beyond that, it would also help me build routine, confidence, and a greater sense of calm in my home — something that directly benefits my child as well.

The funds raised will go towards:

purchasing or adopting a suitable dog

initial training and socialisation

vet checks, vaccinations, and basic supplies needed to ensure the dog is healthy and well cared forThis isn’t something I would normally ask for help with, but the cost is simply out of reach for me at the moment. Any contribution — no matter how small — would mean more than I can properly put into words. Even sharing this page helps.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read, and for any support you’re able to offer. It truly means everything to us.
