Review for North Star Foundation, Storrs, CT, USA
My son received his North Star dog, Hero, in October of 2009 when he was 11 years old. He is a child with autism and had serious problems with stress, behavior, and health problems. He had been out of school for over 2 years & had to return with an aide and full time help in our home.
Life is different now that he has his North Star dog. He is off of his medications and rarely ill. He is in a regular classroom without any extra help at school or at home. He has learned to read and write. His melt downs that once were tallied daily happen once or trice a month. Most importantly he has made friends and is happy from the moment Hero wakes him up in the morning until they lay their heads down at night. His quality of life has improved beyond words. It has been a priceless experience. It is very expensive to raise a child with autism the well bread and trained assistance dogs have so much to offer a child. Please consider donating to the North Star Foundation so they can help this next decades struggling children become contributing members of society. The economy is struggling and so our are small but hard working nonprofits but today's children still need help. If you love happy health children and dogs you will love North Star.
