We have an official class date!

September 18-28!!!

We are all looking forward to a new adventure and bringing our service dog home with us!

Would any of you still be interested in helping a child in need of a service dog?

There are many children in need of dogs who are still fundraising to get their special friend.

Take a look at the 4 Paws For Ability, Make A Dream Come True page. There you will find stories of other kids and their families doing the same thing we did!

Much Love and Many Thanks for Our Family to Yours!!

I've got WONDERFUL news!!

Our official December 1st total is:

$13.111.12

WE ARE DONE!!

We have been placed in the September 2012 class at 4 Paws for Ability. After the new year we will be holding a couple more fundraisers in order to help fund our 12 day trip to Ohio.

I'm hoping to have thank you's out in the mail by the end of January!

Thank you once again to EVERYONE who has supported us. This really means the world to us. God Bless you all and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

The Davies:

Ed, Carolina, Elisabeth, Eddie, Tweet, Bella and Stewie!

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to update you all. It's been crazy around here. Eddie has been having more seizures, Elisabeth has started piano lessons, we where recently in Miami for 4 days and how its the start of the holiday season!

Our total as of Nov. 15th $12,735.23! I know what you are thinking... your almost done! Well in reality we ARE done! Thanks to a generous donation from the
Twilight Moms of Middle Georgia our unofficial total is $13,017.23!

The $13,000 dollar goal has been reached!


The next step is to wait or the official phone call from 4 Paws for Ability telling us that we are done. In the mean time we are working on a family video that needs to be sent to the dog trainers. With our family video trainers are able to find us a perfect doggie match. Specialty training for the dog can take anywhere from 6-10 months to complete. When they are done we must attend a 12 day training class in Ohio.
Now we hurry up and wait. Before we leave for Ohio, 1 to 2 weeks prior, we find out who our doggie match is and what his/her name is!

After the holidays we will be holding a few more fundraisers to help fund out trip to Ohio. A class date has not been assigned to us yet, but we should know soon. We plan on making the drive up to Ohio for what we think will be a total of 16 days on the road. Hotels, gas and food will add up fast. Keep your eyes pealed!

Id like to once again thank EVERYONE who has helped up fundraise. Because of you this has been a great success!!! As soon as I get ALL the names of those who contributed I will be sending out thank you cards! I haven't forgotten any of you.




Samba: Golden Retriever
Seizure Assistance Dog
4 Paws for Ability
Partnered on Oct. 2011

Our Oct 15th total is $11,479.75.

That means we are $1,520 dollars away from our fundraising goal! As we wait for our total to officially hit the $13,000 mark I have been working on our family video that will be seem buy the 4 paws for ability trainers. With this video the trainers will be better able to choose the right dog for the kids and our family life style.
After our dog is picked it will take 6-10 months to specialty train him or her. There is still a long road ahead of us, right now the focus is to reach our fundraising goal.

If you are able to donate please look at our "HOW TO DONATE" page.

This is how I feel right now.

I thought this was going to be the week I got the good news. But its not, I'm so upset at myself. It turns out we are not done fundraising like I thought we where. Our fundraising total for Oct 1st is $11,183.53. A check of $1,000 was sent today which will put out total up to $12,183.53.

So we wait, again. My friends are in the process of finalizing an auction that raised a little over $300. I got a check today for $50.00 and my husband got a $100 dollar donation from a co-worker. So close yet so far from our goal.

Almost DONE!

Our September 1st total from 4 Paws For Ability is $6,221.79!

This total does not include money that is STILL coming in!! A couple of good friends of mine put together an online auction for board games that brought in a total of $1,200! There is still a raffle going on at OakRidge Custom Finishing that will being in an additional $1,000 for a S&W Revolver. The raffle will be closed on September 10th with the drawing being held at 11am. And last but not least a final donation of $1,000 from Middle Georgia Connection's CEO MaryAnn Horning.

SO our total for the first week of September will be at least $9,421.70!!!!!

ALMOST THERE!!!
