My Nonprofit Reviews

I have had the unique opportunity to watch ECAD evolve from the stepping stones of two people with a dream in a garage wearing the hats of founders, trainers, marketers, operators and executors placing four dogs a year, to establishing themselves within alternative schools systems, with a team of associates to support the dream, placing 15 dogs a year and making more and more milestones everyday. From the sidelines I have watched ECAD overcome hurdle after hurdle with the drive to succeed and make a difference in the lives of those who society has forgotten. The miracle of watching a person regain their independence, or those who were deemed "trouble makers" flourish to graduate high school and college, all of which is attributed to the involvement with ECAD. What was once a dream of two people, a husband and wife, a mother and father, a sister and brother, has now taken on a life of its own. This dream has become the dream of everyone they encounter, which is solely based on their compassion for others, and their selfless ability to never say "it-can't-be-done". ECAD is noted for saying, "For every dollar donated, for ever hour donated, three lives are changed." I can speak from experience, ECAD changes the lives so many more then the client, the dog, and the student. Being part of this organization as staff, volunteer, donor, sponsor, regardless of the hat the encounter wears, they will walk away touched, inspired, and benefited by the experience.
