Dear Friend,

Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page and for wanting to join me in supporting an extraordinary organization, NEADS/Dogs for Deaf and Disabled Americans, and one very special dog, Grace.

They train the best assistance dogs in the country.

Right now, they're training Grace, a golden retriever that will serve as a therapy dog in partnership with Beth Lewis, a therapist at Rhode Island College. Together, they'll help adults with chemical dependencies and children with Autism or Asperger's syndrome.

They need our help. NEADS is a non-profit organization and they rely on generous folks like you and me. Grace has had one hip surgery and needs another surgery this year. To help cover her medical expenses and her additional training, I'm working to raise money to champion her cause.

Please make a donation. Any amount will be greatly appreciated, and no gift is too small. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.

If you prefer to send a donation directly to NEADS/Dogs for Deaf and Disabled Americans, P O Box 213, West Boylston, MA 01583. Please indicate my name in the memo line of your check. For questions please call NEADS, 978 422-9064.   

Thank you for your support by making a gift of any amount and by forwarding this to your friends and family!

Yours sincerely,

Rick
