Review for North Star Foundation, Storrs, CT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The dog we got from Northstar has made an amazing difference in the life of our son Dan, who has Asperger's. Tauqua has helped Dan in so many ways, serving as best friend, social intermediary, sleeping companion (pre-Tauqua, Dan could not fall asleep without a parent in the room. Now...no problem), and giving Dan a sense of responsibility that he has embraced. We can't say enough good things about Northstar and Patty Gross.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

seeing my son become a more self-confident, happier person

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

get Patty some more funding and help so she could serve more families.
