Guest guest Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hey. I'm , I'm 20 and have Asperger's & high-functioning Autism, and I've recently been approved for an Autism Service Dog through an organization in Oregon. However, before I can get the dog, I need to raise at least $6,500. Which isn't that much, in the long run, but it's just me and my single mother who's trying to do this by ourselves. We're kind of out of places to turn to, honestly. We're trying to plan a yard sale in a couple weeks, then a raffle/Spaghetti fundraiser dinner in July to try to raise some money- but even that can only bring in a couple hundred dollars at the most. Even if you can't donate money right now, I'm also in need of DOG SUPPLIES and DOG FOOD when I get my dog. We've been able to get a couple donations, but it's mostly going towards our fundraiser raffle. Sorry this is kind of long, but I just typed it as I thought of it. I hope you'll be able to help out in some way. Please email me if you have any questions!!!! I would also be more than happy to email you a copy of the letterhead fundraiser letter, that will tell you ALLLL about how my new service dog will improve my life!!!!

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Just a though - if you belong to a church (or similar), maybe they would do some fund raising for you. My church has an annual fund-raising dinner and usually gets over $6,000. It's been used for a number of things, from orphanages in Africa to a new (used) car for the young neighbour of a member who had his car totally written off on his first day of work - only 4 days after getting it - by a driver who didn't see a red light. Community groups will also sometimes raise funds for things like this.  Hey.
