Life in a flood of stimuli and retreat
An assistance dog as an anchor for Chris
For many, everyday life is taken for granted.
For Chris, it often means a struggle: against excessive demands, isolation – and the feeling of never quite belonging.
A late diagnosis of autism brought clarity. But what is missing is a reliable companion:
An assistance dog that calms, protects – and provides support.
Chris tells
“For a long time, I didn’t know why I felt so alienated in this world.
Noises, light, touch – everything was often too much. Conversations stress me out, unfamiliar situations quickly overwhelm me.
Only the diagnosis in adulthood brought relief: I am autistic.
That was the beginning of self-acceptance.”
What's missing: Financing
You need to train, accompany, care for and look after your dog:
📌 32.700 €
Chris cannot raise this sum on his own.
How an assistance dog can help
A specially trained assistance dog could:
- Early warning in the event of overstimulation
- Reassure through closeness
- Enabling retreat without being alone
- Offer security in social situations
- help people to trust themselves more again
In short: it would be anchor, bridge and companion – in the midst of the storm.
Every contribution counts
With your support, you are helping Chris to lead a more self-determined life.
You give trust, security – and a loyal partner on four paws.
Chris asks for your support
Every donation - whether 5, 50 or 500 euros - brings Chris closer to independence.
Help us to ensure that Chris no longer just functions, but can finally live.
