All the parents in the world wish for good health for their children.
Sadly, some children are born with health conditions. Parents can so only so much to manage their children’s illnesses. They wanted their children to live an everyday life despite having poor health.
Nate Feola, a nine-year-old boy from Colorado Springs, was born prematurely, weighing less than two pounds. Nate stayed in the hospital for five months before he was discharged.
At home, Nate was abused as a young child. The State took him when his parents lost the custody battle. Later on, Nate was adopted, and he is now living a happy childhood with his new parents.
However, Nate is suffering from chronic lung disease. He needs to bring a 20-lb. oxygen tank wherever he goes to help him with his breathing.
Nate’s adoptive mom, Lisa Feola, wanted to give him a gift of independence. She wished that Nate would run in the park without getting worried about managing his illness. She wanted him to live an everyday childhood life despite having a lifelong disease.
Nate’s family has thought of getting him a service dog. They believed that a dog would help Nate to move around. The service dog would also assist him in carrying his oxygen tank.
Unfortunately, they know that a service dog isn’t cheap. The dog has to be trained for months before it can be released. Also, the demand for service dogs is high.
Nate’s parents thought of setting up a fundraiser campaign so that they would be able to get him a service dog.
The news became viral that a local news network helped in spreading the word.
Thankfully, they were able to reach their goal of $14,000! They were grateful for all the support they get from family, friends, and strangers. They were able to pay for the service dog just in time for Christmas.
Know more about Nate’s story below:
The pup needs to be trained for a year before it will be released to Nate’s family.
We’re excited for Nate’s first service dog!
