Thanks to eukanuba, we have a $30,000 donation match for #GivingTuesday! 🙌 

Every day for 27 years, Kimberly got ready for work as an educator. Then, one morning, she went into a coma and was in septic shock, losing her hands and her legs. 

As she started looking for support from other survivors, she came upon Canine Companions. 

“I knew there was a wait to get a service dog,” Kimberly says. “I was just starting to second-guess whether I should accept a service dog since so many others were waiting. Two weeks later, I was invited to Team Training, and it was like a divine intervention.” 

Kimberly was partnered with Service Dog Noodle, a mellow, calming dog, enhancing her independence far beyond her expectations. 🐕‍🦺 

Noodle takes the place of Kimberly’s hands; opening the pantry door, retrieving cans from the shelf and ensuring a dropped spatula doesn’t ruin dinner. 

“Noodle is a gift. He helps me carry the load of living as a quadruple amputee. I’m so grateful.” 

✨ This holiday season, you can provide the greatest gift of all — independence with an expertly trained Canine Companions #servicedog. 

Donate now to DOUBLE every dollar you give, up to $30K - so more teams like Kimberly and #ServiceDog Noodle can come together. ❤️

️💙️Link in bio to donate now, or visit canine.org/giveindependence25.
