Retrieving Freedom, Inc.


 
Tristan Kuhn, like many children, has autism. His parents became interested in getting a service dog, specially trained to help work with his unique needs that include: adjusting to new situations, staying focused on the task at hand, calm him in times of stress, and engaging in escape behaviors outside of the home.  His parents feel very blessed that just recently Tristan has been put on a list to receive a service dog from "Retrieving Freedom Inc," a non profit organization, whose goal is to place service dogs with veterans and children with autism.  Unfortunately not all costs are covered to receive this wonderful dog for their son. The family needs to raise $8,000.00 to received a trained service dog for Tristan and that's why we are inviting you to help them reach this goal...
