Dinner for a Dog is an event being held to raise funds for a local Veteran Soldier to take ownership of a PTSD service dog. This dog will be trained professionally and will assist a local Veteran in elevating their quality of life and coping with PTSD.
Many things that we take for granted are often not present with those challenged by PTSD, such as getting out in the community, the necessities like banking, grocery shopping, doctor’s appointments and even socializing. The ability to achieve these errands is easy and taken for granted by most, but many, especially local Veterans can find them difficult.
The cost of a service dog is approximately $20k+. This amount is not covered by the Veteran Affairs of Canada. Unfortunately, veterans are obligated to cover the cost themselves. For as many that have a service dog and find progress in their lives, there are many in need and that is what Dinner for a Dog is all about.
The Rolling PTSD Foundation / The Rolling Barrage is helping support this initiative by attending. Those that have supported us are well known to rally and support initiatives like ours and many others across Canada. Dinner for a Dog needs that help and support you have provided so graciously in the past, present and in this case, for a Veterans future. Please read on.
The Rolling Barrage will have members in attendance at this event, which is Friday April 19th 2024 in Okotoks, Alberta. Many other great local sponsors are also in attendance as well as Supporters. Food, drink, auction items, entertainment and all going towards a great cause.
They are at about 77% of goal intended goal in donations. We all can change that number and make this happen. If you cannot attend the event, please consider a donation of any amount. No amount is too small and of course, no amount is too much. Entirely up to you.
