Help Bring Buddy Home – A Psychiatric Service Dog for Bella
My name is Bella, and I’m raising funds for a psychiatric service dog who will help me manage Autism, ADHD, CPTSD, Anxiety, Depression and a dissociative trauma disorder (OSDD). These conditions affect my daily life, safety, and independence — and after years of misdiagnosis, hospital admissions, and surviving multiple suicide attempts, my team of professionals agree that a trained service dog will be life‑changing.
We’ve found the perfect match: Buddy, a Golden Retriever currently being trained through Smart Service Dogs in Durban. Buddy will help with grounding during dissociation, interrupting panic attacks, supporting emotional regulation, and keeping all parts of my OSDD system safe.
The cost of Buddy’s training and placement is R120 000. If 521 people donate R200, Buddy can come home.
Every contribution — no matter the size — brings us closer to safety, stability, and healing. Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting our journey.
