1Boy4Change, Inc.

I am so proud to be affiliated with this group! Helping people get the service dogs they need is an honor beyond anything I could express! Especially our veterans who have given so much to us!

Chris has been helping kids with special needs for 1/2 of my disabled son's life. He continually serves as a light of hope for his generation.

I have followed Chris Carswell for many years. He is an amazing young man that always looks for ways to help others, while fighting his own health issues. He makes a difference every day.

Chris and his 1Boy4Change organization are nothing short of amazing! While facing his own challenges, he selfishly sets them aside to do great things for other people and animals. He has a clear vision, is determined, and relentless in the pursuit of helping others. Chris is one of the most genuine souls out there!

I have known and followed this organization for many years. What this organization does for children and veterans with issues, children with illnesses, police, etc etc is nothing shy of amazing and admirable. The tireless work that Chris does, and has done from a VERY young age, is something that should be viral because he shows that if you have a belief and a passion then absolutely nothing can get in its way. If you even just isolate it down to the service dogs that he has provided to people for many years when they weren't able to get them on their own, and yet Chris did everything from finding the dogs to the training then to even the delivery of the dogs, all while doing fundraisers to obtain the capital while he has his own medical issues is something that should be rewarded and admired over and over. While I have never had a need for Chris' help, that never stopped me from following because in a world filled with selfishness and lack of compassion, this organization proves and continually shows that even in the hardest of circumstances, there are still some amazing people out there.

Chris and his organization should be given every opportunity and award that is possible because the funny part is that while many others would only do things only when they can get things and perpetually have a hand out, Chris has and will continue to do what he does with or without the recognition or awards and he never has a hand out (meaning never expecting). For that alone should stand for why Chris deserves the world because without people like him, this world would be so much worse off since he brings in all the good. But the most spectacular part is that he has his own health issues that you can read about on his website and people that get a common cold would quit things but his issues are much more intense and severe and yet he does more and more and more.

I will always be proud of the fact that I got know him and that its always been and will always be a true honor to know real life heroes.

Admiration, dedication, strong, willingness to help, encouraging. They all say "CHRIS" AKA: 1boy4change.
I have been privileged to follow Chris and be inspired by him. His undenying dedication to help others, to over come his own personal health obstacles so others can benefit from his hard work. I am able to follow his progress and never ending hard work training service dogs for veterans. Chris is very unique and will always have a heart of gold. I am blessed, to call Chris my firend

It’s hard to put in to words the respect and admiration I have for this young man and his organization. Coffee for troops, raising and training service dogs for veterans, vests and heat alarms for K9’s, coats for kids, Warrior beads, paradriving and the list goes on. To go through what he’s gone through and still have the strength and determination to help others …amazing

I've known Chris for many years. What this young man has accomplished is absolutely amazing. I've watched him grow from a kid to the amazing young man he is today. He's fought many health obstacles himself but that has not stopped hm from always helping others. I don't hesitate to donate to his charity because I know it will be well spent. I'm also so very proud to call him my friend

This is an amazing young man. With all life has thrown at him, he is still on top. Thinks of others before himself and never fears to step in and lend a hand. I first connected with Chris through Hero Dogs and his wonderful companion Bronx. We met personally when he presented a service dog to a young person in Massachusetts. His poise for someone so young was heartening. His warrior bead program for people such as my 2 grandsons was inspiring. My purchases at Amazon Smile contribute donations to 1 boy 4 change. He has my heart !!!!!

Chris is an exceptional young man. I first met him when he was around 12. I was a volunteer with Puppies In Flight and transported a Service puppy he donated. He has a huge heart and is an inspiration.

There isn't a better non profit around. Great program! My nephew is a proud warrior, and the organizer, Chris, has been absolutely phenomenal in his support for this group! Highly recommended.

I found this nonprofit through Facebook, and I discovered a young man who is doing a lot for others, not only kids with illnesses but also K9. It has a beautiful cause that gives hope and companionship to many children who spend time in hospitals and doctor's offices. It gives them strength to continue, and is generating a change not only in these guys, but in those of us who follow them in social networks. I'm sure his parents are very proud of him.

What a gracious and generous cause and young man. He is truly an angel making others smile

I was able to get my beads and love them so much!!! I’ve had so much happen in my life I only did the past year and would love to continue to add on every year!

1Boy4Change, has changed they way I look at how sick children are viewed. Christopher makes their stay in the hospital more tolerable. By giving them the beads and other things he sends them he gives them something to hope for
Also he is a very big supporter of the local K( units by making sure that they have heat alarms and 1st aid kits.

Christine Trainer Fresno, California

The entire world could learn alot grom Chris. Not only does he work with different Sheriffs departments he does his own charity

amazing organization! We love the beads show is how far we’ve come and what we’ve over some. My daughter likes looking at her beads and though we wish we weren’t on this journey, the beads help give a little light.

A remarkable young man working to help others when he himself has so many challenges to overcome.

Chris is an amazing young man at 1boy4change. He creates warrior beads for ill people all over the world . Chris also participates in securing vests for k9 dogs. Heat monitors for police cars with k9 's. First aid kits for police cars. He is very unselfish and even though he's not well himself he always is thinking of others and how to make others lives better

Hello My Name is Norma Jean Grass and I live in the great state of Maine...I met Chris Carswell thru facebook a few years ago and seeing what he did and has gone thru in his short life time just made me to want to help him any way that I could..I support all the good things he is doing with the Warrior Bead Program what he does with the Dog Programs he has been in and not with the Program he is in with horses...He is 1 awesome young man making a huge difference in this world today...May God Bless him in what ever comes his way for he never turns down a challange...

I've been following Chris Carswell and 1Boy4Change for several years now. He was a child of 13 or 14 when I came to know of him through SD Bronx and his warrior beads program. I have never met a teenager with so much love and care in his heart for others. Chris puts his own pain and suffering to the side for the benefit of children who are ill, and his K9 protection program. He brings joy to both young children and adults. Chris Carswell is truly a young hero who will do great things in the future.

I met Chris at an equestrian event and was immediately impressed with his commitment to overcoming his disabilities to help others. His story is amazing and so is he! I would encourage everyone to help him reach his goals.

I have followed this young man's story over the last several years. He continues to amaze and inspire me. His courage and dignity in the face of constant challenges, both medical and personal is a testimony to the power of faith. In spite of the obstacles his courage never seems to falter and his compassion for others shines brightest in hard times. Chris works tirelessly through his nonprofit activities to improve and enhance the lives of others. Even now, in the midst of a terrible personal tragedy he continues to focus on what he can do for others. His energy and creativity keep him on the path to changing our world for the better.

Chris is an awesome young man even when he is not feeling well due to various illnesses himself he still gives. Chris is not a quiter he just keeps going & giving asking nothing in return if anyone deserves to keep their nonprofit it is him; he works tiredlessly on his projects always giving & giving I love this young man with all my heart.

An incredible charity run by an amazing young man. The warrior bead program enables people battling their own medical conditions to tell their story. Each bead represents courage and strength. They mean so much to the people who receive them.

1Boy4Change means so much to me and my son. My boy has been through so much in his life and it really helps him understand and document how brace he has been.
1Boy4Change has amazing communication and are always efficient. Thank you

Chris nonprofit, 1 Boy 4 Change, helped me train and test my Service Dog. My Service Dog alerts me to low blood sugar. I am a diabetic, on insulin for 46 years, and can no longer tell if I am high or low. This is called hyperinsensitivity. SD Jade is very visible in our community and recently had her picture in the paper.

After being ill for a little while and then diagnosed with Loeys-Dietz Syndrome type 1 I find that 1Boy4Change and his bead program helped me get thru a few rough times by showing me what a true warrior I am. Although I will never be healthy and have to constantly go in for tests, labs and most recently open heart surgery; Chris, you have made a change in my life while I cover some ground!

I have been following this page for a few years & I have to say I think he does an amazing job!

I wish more kids would do good in this world.


Keep it up though! You're doing amazing.

A wonderful young man is responsible for starting 1boy4chang. Even though he has had to deal with many health issues including multiple brain surgeries he lives his life in service to others. His warrior beads program helps others chart their own medical journey

Warrior beads have been amazing, they put a positive spin on something that's usually so negative. By receiving beads to keep track of my journey and what I've been through it I've realized how far ive come. Knowing that I'll get something like a cool bead makes some of the not-so-fun stuff tolerable.

Chris is an amazing young man that has made my son feel more accepted through the Warrior Beads program. My son, Michael now goes to have medical procedures done, holds his beads tight and tells the nurses what each bead stands for, by the time he is done explaining the procedure is over. No more crying, yelling and begging "no". Thank you!

1Boy4Change is a wonderful charity, run by a young man who believes in honesty and integrity. He supports our law enforcement community particularly K9s by raising funds to obtain heat alarms for the cruiser so that a K9 is not going to suffer from excessive heat. Working with We Ride To Provide he assists K9 teams in obtaining first aid kits. Chris also supports our military by sending 'care' packages. Despite having medical conditions and an up hill fight he still thinks of others and their needs and concerns. Helping this young man to succeed is a worthwhile investment of your time and any donation you can make.

I've donated to this charity & have to say Chris is a wonderful young man doing great things.

1 Boy4Change is directly responsible for my daughter getting her service dog. This is a life changing gift. In the month she has had the dog, my daughter is happier, more active and in less pain than I have seen in years. The professionalism, integrity and intuition that are cornerstones to Chris's work are only out weighed by his tremendous heart. I owl urge everyone to get in solved, donate, volunteer and spread the word. Chris is making miracles happen for people on a regular basis. This world needs a lot more of that!

Impressive from start to finish. I was aware of 1Boy4Change & his warrior beads long before becoming acquainted with the people behind the beads. Having several health challenges of my own, I saw people from all over the country (via social media support groups) excited to receive their beads. A patients journey is long, isolating and filled with procedures the healthy world has never even heard of. The beads represent our battle, not a count of the pain endured, but of the battles won, one procedure at a time, with different colors beads representing various tests/ procedures. It's a score card that shows us we have been through hell & back, and we are still fighting; a reminder that we have come so far and today is not the day to give up. Such a simple idea, such a meaningful impact made more special by the fact your package of color specific beads are put together by a young man who is legally blind. When most adults would give up, this young man& his mom are giving back in a meaningful way. Your donations go exactly where they say it will.... I'd encourage everyone to give to this effort. As a professional grant maker, I wish I saw more non profits doing so much with this level of integrity.

The warrior beads program is amazing! Having a collection of beads to tell and record my personalised medical story has given me confidence to talk about my medical experience. It helps those around you understand what happens when I go into hospital and most importantly, warrior beads are there to remind me that I can do anything, because I have done so much already. Now whenever I lie in an MRI, have an operation, medical infusion, IV, or treatment, I think about my warrior beads. They automatically calm me down and give me courage.

I am super grateful for everything Chris and his charity have done for me. Thank you :)

1boy4change changed my daughter's life by giving her Service dog. This dog is amazing, he detects every seizure with out fail. Her service dog has allowed my daughter to be independent and she has a companion and friend for as long as her Service dog can do it. Thank you 1boy4change. Our Family has earned a special friendship and a place in our hearts with Chris, Janet Carswell and Bronx.

Chris at 1boy4change is a wonderful young man that has helped my family and son so much. He has helped to supply my son with a much needed service dog and now he sends warrior beads to my son. These beads may not seem like much to others but to a special needs child they mean so much! Thank you Chris!

Chris is doing a great job with his bead project, where he gives beads to children who have serious illnesses for every procedure they have done. what a great idea. I know of one of the children who has personally benefited from this free service. For a young man who has had to fight illness all his life he is doing a great service for others what a fine example he is setting for others. May god Bless him as well as his mother who helps him so very much .

My son was involved in an accident in February and once he got home from his hospital stay I looked into the 1Boy4Change Warrior Bead program. My son's life has changed drastically from that accident and with the beads from Chris he is able to tell his medical journey. Adding new beads to his string is not only therapeutic for him but also feels like a sense of closure for those procedures. I would have never thought that a simple program like this could make such a huge difference to children during their medical journeys.

1Boy4Change is a great nonprofit that has helped and continues to help so many people including children and adults as well as the military and those that serve including K-9's . I cannot begin to say how impressed I was when I read about 1Boy4Change. One thing I check out with nonprofits is where the money goes, just know when you donate to 1Boy4Change your donation will help many and be wisely spent.

Great charity. Amazing work done. Chris is a great person who truly has made a difference in this world.

Chis is a wonderful young man who volunteers his time to others in need. His causes are near and dear to my heart. His love and concern for very ill children and K9s who need First Aid kits shows his caring nature. Chris, SD BRONX and Janet are loved by many for their tireless volunteer work. I will support them always.

Such an amazing charity! My son received warrior beads from 1boy4change to tell his medical story with. As a mom it was a little somber but it also showed me everything we have overcome with our little guy so far. We cannot thank them enough. My son is proud to show off his warrior beads and tell his story:)

1boy4change is absolutely amazing - thinking of others before himself and truly making a change one person at a time. Rest assured that any donation goes exactly where it is intended.

I have personally had officers in our area receive the K9 alarms which they would have had no other way to receive them without 1boy4change. I have donated and seen the impact it has.

Thank you to Chris Carswell and his entire team.....will continue to follow and be a donor for many years to come.

Chris is such an amazing and inspiring young man. Despite all of the health issues he has to battle, he still wants to help others out with his amazing bead program, K-9 First Aid kits, and K-9 Heat Alarms. I have supported his endeavors in the past and will continue to do so.

My name is Nancy and I volunteer at 1Boy4Change counting and packaging Warrior Beads. I love the Warrior Bead program and how it impacts so many lives! I have watched the program go into an International program - it amazes my that this magic all began with the program designed by a 16 year old! 1Boy4Change is magical and I am so glad to volunteer there!

I have come to know of Chris when I come across Chris and his SD Bronx as nominees in The Hero Dog Awards. The generosity, compassion and true caring exhibited by this amazing young man, despite his own health issues, left an impression upon me that makes me sit back in awe of his continuing dedication to make a difference to the lives of others. His foundation, 1Boy4Change, Inc. is based on Chris' ethos.....making a change to better the lives of others. He works tirelessly and with true and genuine dedication to the causes he sets his mind to. He is an outstanding example of setting goals and working with everything that he has to achieve a positive outcome. He is a truly inspirational young man who has had a wonderful and positive effect on the lives of so many so far and looks at continuing that positive effect on the lives of many others in the future....

Chris Carswell has been an inspiration to me for many years now. I am so proud of the many goals he has reached to make the lives of others better. When Chris sets his sites on helping others, there simply is no mountain this young man cannot move to make miracles happen.
It's such an honor to have Chris, his family, friends, foundation, and SUPER hero SD Bronx in my life. The world is a better place because Chris shares his passion for helping others with all of us.

I met Chris, his mom, and his service dog last year at a charity event. Chris is a stellar example of doing kind deeds for others and paying it forward. I am excited to witness his journey into adulthood and see all he has yet to accomplish!

I recently met Chris Carswell in person after having worked with his foundation for about a year. I run a foundation that provides grants to the disabled in our community who need service dogs. Chris and his foundation reviewed our grantee's application and selected a specific dog to be trained for her.

Chris provided the early training for this dog, before was moved on to get his advanced training in Tennessee. All through this process, Chris and his foundation provided the communication, reassurance and information we needed to prepare our client for their new dog.

The end result of this labor of love on Chris' part is the most amazing partnership between a highly trained service dog, and a 7 year old girl with severe disabilities.

I credit Christopher for his dedication to this work, and for his work helping Police K-9 units across the country. What an amazing young man, to have had this idea at such a young age, and to spend his teen years serving others.

He is truly a remarkable young man. His foundation is well-run, and clearly he goes out of his way to make sure that the projects he supports are successful. He, his mother and the trainer from Tennessee gave up an entire week of their summer to come to our community and train our client with their new service dog. I don't know of another organization in this area of service that does this for their clients. I know that hundreds of hours of training were donated toward the preparation of this wonderful dog.

We had a million questions. Every single one of them was answered politely and with patience, understanding that this was all new to us. Chris's team is highly skilled and highly qualified to be doing this work, and I consider them experts in the field.

Chris knows firsthand the difference that a trained service dog can make in a person's life, and he appears to be truly dedicated to making it possible for others to have the same benefit.

Wonderful young man, and a great example of what a great non-profit should be!

I met Chris and SD Bronx when they took the time out of their day visiting Miss Sue at Golden Isles Hospice to visit my husband who did not have many days left. My husband, Wilfried Stein, could no longer talk; however, I saw the light in his eyes when I told him a real Deutsche Shepard was coming in to see him. Wilfried was from Austria and SD Bronx got in the bed with him. Wilfried was delighted and swished SD Bronx's tail back and forth. My most known words in Deutsche are commands for dogs from listening to Wilfried speak to our dogs in Deutsche. Chris took the time to pose with Wilfried and SD Bronx. Chris is a selfless young man who puts his needs last and cares for others first!!

I heard of and about Chris through a mutual friend (Peg H.). In June 2013, slightly before midnight, I received a phone call from Peg. Against Pegs suggestion, I accepted and acknowledged that I would submit an application to 1B4C to become a Volunteer Trainer, and did so that moment. To my surprise, I was accepted as an Evaluator/Trainer. I can tell you countless experiences witnessed, but that would violate the privacy of the "family" members 1B4C extends its heart to. But, you can look at any photo from any delivery and its evident....intimate...compassion...pride...family.

After learning about 1Boy4Change over a year ago, I've watched this organization continuously increase their outreach program for those needing service dogs. It's an incredibly difficult task to provide resources for service dogs and matching them with the right recipients. A tireless group, even faced with obstacles. Nothing is slowing them down from helping others.

1boy4change is an amazing organization. Chris Carswell is the most giving person I have ever met. He has many challenges of his own, but is always looking to help someone else.

In Jan 2013 we learned about 1Boy4Change and we were immediately impressed. Janet & Chrus were supportive in us obtaining and training our puppy. Just this week we were tested and our dog, Zoey officially became a service dog. Throughout the entire process, you never feel alone or excluded. The entire 1Boy4Change organization has done nothing but amazing things. From guidance with your service dog's training to support with more personal issues. They are a non-profit organization that makes dreams come true!

1B4C paired me with my service dog in training Phoenix in May 2013. Nearly a year later we are very close to becoming a fully graduated service dog team. They have been there to support me through the whole training process and our trainer from FL even came up in November to check on us. We will be going to her to finish our training in June and I could not be more excited. SDiT Phoenix has been a blessing I never could have imagined having. Chris, Janet, and their team made that possible. I am forever grateful.

We have had our Service Dog from 1Boy4Change.org for almost 2 yrs now. They have been the most wonderful nonprofit to interact with. They still help us with any equiptment we may need, any advice we need and a listening ear when I need it! A wonderful family oriented organization that has changed our lives and helped to make my non-verbal autistic son safe and more independent!

1b4c is one of the most amazing orgainiztions we have ever dealt with. my husband and i were in the process of trying to raise $13,000 for a service dog for our disabled 5 year old son. when 1b4c found out they were able to get us a dog for only $1,000 and that was covered by a grant. They haven't just helped our son but they have become a part of our family! not to mention what they do for police k9 teams with their heat alarms and providing non verbal children with ipads so they can communicate. Chris and Janet go above and beyond just being a non profit. they truly care about each of the people they help.

my son and his service dog are a perfect match and it is all because of 1b4c!

they have also helped every family i have ever asked them to consider helping.

1Boy4Change is simply amazing, after applying to numerous other organizations like this and being denied they took us in and I'll never forget the words they said to me," it's ok, we are here for you" because of them my special needs son had a friend and not just that but a life line in his service dog ally. I will always and forever be in their debt for the joy they have brought to my family and for the hope in myself that they have renewed.

Our family has had the best working relationship with 1 Boy 4 Change. Anytime we had questions or needed help with Balto our son's Service Dog they stepped in ASAP to help. They did an amazing job training Balto and continuing to keep in touch with our family after his graduation from their program. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great honest non-profit.

This boy, no man, does for so many when one would only do for himself. I am a disabled Vet w/ PTSD and he is doing everything in his power to get me PTSD trained service dog. Unlike most training I can not be present for most of the training due to the severity of my Illness, but that has not stopped him and will soon have my dog and help me again gain my freedom.

Dealing with multiple debilitating illnesses makes life extremely difficult for my 13 yr old daughter. Her greatest wish over the past few years was to have her very own service dog -- in order to make her life more livable. After being turned down a few times by different organizations, and then not knowing how on earth I'd be able to fulfill her dream of getting a service dog all on our own, along came 1Boy4Change. During one of the happiest moments of her life thus far -- my daughter found out she was accepted to receive her own service dog from this organization. Not only does the name 1Boy4Change stand for what Chris wants to accomplish -- it stands for what HE IS ACCOMPLISHING.

I stumbled across this organization after looking and researching seizure alert dogs for over a year. We were unsure of the "need" for one for our son. I spoke with Janet on the phone and she was so kind and compassionate and added us right to the list. Chris has done an amazing job finding resources and helping out so many people. They have not only created and organization, but a family. The support they give is outstanding and I am proud to be a part of it.

Having two Autistic daughters is not easy. Quite challenging, actually. 1boy4change honored my daughters' wish for a service dog, and I have seen remarkable change in their behavior and communications. They are so wonderful & have made us part of the "1boy4change" family, which to me, has become quite a support system. Blogging with other families has helped me cope and also has given me the opportunity to make new friends as well. The most rewarding part of being part of this "family", is seeing my daughters and their dog interact. Just warms my heart!

1boy4change has given me hope again. My son has type 1 diabetes that is at its best erratic and hard to control. He will spike to extremely high sugar levels for no reason, but we have to bolus for them. Then if we do not watch he will crash faster than he spiked. They have been there for me when I needed to talk willing to help me no matter what to help my son have a healthier, happier life. I feel like I have gained an extended family, one that finally understands what I go through being the mother of a special needs child. We do not have our service dog yet, since we just started the process last month, but I know that it will be a life changing event for my son once he is trained. I have hope again, and that is a wonderful thing.

It is my honor to write this review for 1Boy4Change. Chris Carswell and his mother Janet are remarkable people that give their whole hearts to this remarkable foundation. I learned about this amazing foundation through extended family members and it didn't take but a few hours for me to know that for my autistic son to have a service dog this was the foundation I would apply to. I met and talked to one of their board members and trainers filled out the paperwork and it wasn't long until our son had his remarkable service dog. Thanks to 1Boy4Change and SDIT Sugar we have seen improvements in our sons anxiety levels. Janet and Chris not only are the foundation they are family. They are always there to help and answer questions when needed. The 1Boy4Change family are a close knit family that offers support and encouragement 24/7. As far as this family is concerned you can't get any better than this.

I don't even know where to start with RAVING how amazing this foundation is! They give way beyond anyone's dreams! Chris is such an amazing human being and to be all this at such a young age means there is even more amazing things to come from him. Not only am I a board member but also a mom to a child he placed a service dog with. A service dog that has made my child in to a completely different loving child. He also helped save my husbands K9 partner by installing a heat alarm in his patrol car. I could write how wonderful he is for hours!!! But instead come join our team and find out for yourself just how wonderful and amazing this young man is!!!!

I first met Chris and his mom at the Camp Boggy Creek Epilepsy Family Weekend 2012. I just don't have any words to describe them that have not already been said! This young man is my inspiration to go on and to also do good for others. I can't afford much (yet) but I have sent a donation to them for the tablets for special needs project, and have also issued a challenge on my website (http://edu.dhovey.com) for everyone to meet or beat it! In addition, I am pledging a small percentage of my profits from teaching to their organization. Janet is an awesome mom, and there is nothing in the world she would not do for her family or a friend - even a "new" friend! And CHRIS.... well... he is the heart and soul of the organization, and truly my personal hero. I am as proud of him as I would be of my own child, and love them as if they were family. You can do it Chris... go move some more mountains!! All our best... from the Hovey family

Where do I begin .well I've known this family for 5 years when my middle autistic son rode horses for special needs kids and it closed due to the most amazing little boy who is a miracle who has epilepsy now and is changing not just my boys life but others in need as well not only children but k9s as well. After the horse therapy closed I was devastated it had helped Robert in so many ways but they did it for a great cause . Now that I have a 3 yr old my youngest he has autism and non verbal and same as my middle but different in a lot of ways . One day my dad had ran into a lady ( Janet) and called me and told me about this org. That donates service dogs for these special kids and I called her same day and was reunited with this amazing mother and son again I couldn't believe it . She got us a SD so fast and sorry to say he was a lab and was so young and rough on my baby but so sweet as well he just needed to mature to a adult. We tried another and it was a German the best dog ever but was bonded to me caus body had started school and was with me all day so Janet decided it was best to get a puppy in may when he gets outta school so please help them in any way u can they r the most generous ,kindest ,helpful ,loving and u feel like u r part of there family i . And Nana is just as wonderful Janet's mom love that women and smartest women

I met Janet and Chris through my mom who has been attending service dog training for her dog. Through this organization I have obtained the newest member of my heart who I plan to love and spoil for the rest of his life. Although some dogs are not able to make it to the service level, Janet and Chris still take the time to train these dogs with obedience and to also find them forever homes. This is one of the best organizations around. Thank you Janet for all you do and help Chris to do (and for working my dog when i don't feel good)

Awesome Charity run by some of the kindest people I know. I rehabilitate abused Horses and teach riding lessons.ANYTIME I have needed assistance Chris and Janet immediately jump in to help. Everything from helping my special needs students ride horses,buying feed for neglected horses to picking you up when your car breaks down.No matter the size of a challenge this team is ready and willing to help.Cant say enough good about them. The world would be a better place if more people had a heart like Chris!

Chris has done so much for other people, police dogs and those of us who love to follow his activities. He is totally selfless and devotes alot of time to try to make life better for others. Chris is intelligent, caring and has turned a small blog into a major venture. The bigger his cause gets, the more Chris gives to others. I can't think of another cherity more deserving and giving of all they have to meet the needs of others.

One of the sweetest, kind hearted, and loving families you will ever meet. Although I did not receive my SD through 1Boy4Change, Janet has been helping me with training Echo every step of the way. We have just started group training and we are having a blast. Hoping to help this team with placing future service dogs. Especially for diabetic Alert. Thank you Janet, Chris, and Nana too!

A few months ago I came upon a story in my local newspaper about a young man named Christopher Carswell and his organization. I was seeking information on Epilepsy because my 6 yr. old granddaughter has Partial Epilepsy, so I contacted 1boy4change.org. Soon after Christopher sent me an e-mail and offered to help my grandaughter get a service dog. This was something we thought we would never be able to do. They are currently training Holly and she will be Nani's companion. I thank God every day for Christopher his mother Janet and the 1boy4change.org! They are doing an awesome job not only helping those in need get a service dog but also helping K9 police dogs get heat alarms. I cannot thank them enough for their show of love towards my granddaughter and how truly they care about waht they are doing.

It is truly an honor to know Chris and Janet. They work so hard to help others and constantly give back to their community as well as giving to communities across the globe. Chris is an outstanding young man with the most positive attitude I have ever seen. His compassion for others is totally unbelievable. Both Janet and Chris work hard to make life easier for other people as well as for pets serving as service dogs, police dogs or companion dogs. Janet and Chris truly think of the needs of others and put those needs above all else. They are caring and extremely sincere people who can be trusted in thought, word and deed.

My absolute favorite charity!!!! It is an honor to be involved with 1 boy 4 change!! Absolutely incredible. Alisia McIntyre / Highlander German Shepherds

1 Boy 4 Change has to be my favorite non-profit! I love how they are helping so many great causes. Chris and Janet have the biggest hearts and really love what they do. You can see this by all the amazing supporters they have. Keep up the great work!

Wonderful causes supported by wonderful, loving people! The many causes that this group takes up is just beyond what words can describe. The help they provide for those in need goes without question, and they are willing to help all! If there were more people like them, and young men like Chris, the world would be a lot better place. To think how young he is and all he has been through, to still have a wonderful outlook on life and want to do things for OTHERS! I just found out about them not too long ago, and I am very excited to volunteer and donate to them for many years in the future!
