Jaren Lempicki
Jaren is Autistic. He has Receptive Language Disorder, which means he does not necessarily comprehend what is being said, and it is difficult for him to express himself verbally. He likes to climb trees, and run in the yard, but unfortunately does not have the "red flag" mechanism in his brain that tells him something may be dangerous. Frequently he runs off. I worry that a stranger may grab him, and he can't scream for help because of the language disability, that he will unlock the door and run off in the middle of the night. He wants to have and keep friends, but his behavior sometimes scares other children off. Jaren's frustration comes out in emotional meltdowns. He can become physically aggressive, and is difficult to calm down. He also has meltdowns when he becomes overloaded, whether it be from sensory overload (too loud singing, or too bright lights), not being able to finish a "ritual", or if the overload is coming from too many demands. Jaren sends out very subtle clues as to when he is on overload, and it is difficult for even me to always pick up on these cues.
Through extensive research I have found an organization that is dedicated to providing service dogs to young people with autism, The DOGWISH Foundation. Their dog will be specifically trained to connect with Jaren through a special bond related to his scent. This dog will be his friend, confidant, protector, stress reliever & alert system. We are hopeful that the dog will help interrupt his meltdowns or explosive behavior with his presence or a gentle nudge. He will be able to provide him calming deep pressure during sensory overload or stressful new situations. His anxiety being exposed to social situations will be curbed with the constant presence of his "best friend," one who doesn't judge him or expect him to be perfect. He will provide the service of confidant and sleeping companion, in a world that seems assaults his senses and sensibilities, while he is awake and asleep. Jaren can reveal to him his deepest, darkest thoughts, (and there are many) that his fears we won't love and accept him anyway, stops him from sharing with us, no matter how non judgmental we try to be. A service dog will help in his autistic recovery, mentally, socially, educationally, and in more ways than we can probably even imagine. I am very excited about what this opportunity can to bring Jaren to more fully to become the man I have hoped for him to be. He has been such a gift to me and like every parent I just want him to be healthy and happy. If you have been so blessed, please consider playing an integral part in Jaren's FULL development. YOUR generous donation to The DOGWISH Foundation will help us pay for Jaren's Service Assistance K9. Support him and share this letter with anyone that would please consider making a tax-deductible donation in Jaren's name or you may contact me. I need to raise a $2500 down payment for the service dog, ($10,000.00 in all). I also welcome prayers toward this effort or easy fundraising ideas. from Lempicki family For more information go to www.dogwishfoundation.org, or call us collect, anytime.
