Donate for an assistance dog for ME/CFS and give courage to face life
With your support, we enable people with ME/CFS to have access to a specially trained assistance dog – for more security, self-determination and confidence.
We need a further €25,000 for the training, care and support of the dogs and their people.
What is ME/CFS?
ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome) is a severe neurological disease associated with profound fatigue, pain and exercise intolerance (PEM).
The effects are massive: many sufferers lose their mobility, independence – and often also their connection to their social life. Even simple activities such as showering or a quick trip to the kitchen can trigger a breakdown.
Hope on four paws
Every donation goes directly towards the training and care of the assistance dogs. In doing so, you are enabling a major step towards greater enjoyment of life, independence and dignity for people with ME/CFS.
Let’s set an example of solidarity together. Let’s help those who have to struggle with almost insurmountable obstacles every day.
Glimmer of hope: specially trained assistance dogs
For people with ME/CFS, an assistance dog is much more than just help in everyday life:
- It recognizes symptoms of overload at an early stage
- He brings medication or drinks
- He opens doors or gets help
- It provides support – both physically and emotionally
Why your donation counts
- Training an assistance dog takes several years and is cost-intensive.
- People with ME/CFS are often no longer able to work and are dependent on support.
- Health insurance companies do not usually cover the costs – your donation makes the difference.
