WE DID IT!!!

With the help of literally HUNDREDS of people, we were able to raise $13,140 in just 4 months for our miracle, Justin Truett!  That means, we are getting Justin his dog!  (Pictured right, is not Justin's actual dog, but is like the kind of dog he will be getting.  He will be matched with either a Labradoodle or a Goldendoodle).  These are labs bred with poodles or golden retrievers bred with poodles to help allergy sufferers.

We will continue our fund raising efforts to help pay for the flight to Ohio, the two week stay, flying our new best friend back, and getting all the supplies we need for him or her!!!

Justin's story will be featured on Channel 12's Hero Central, this Tuesday night, Feb 8th at 10pm.  

If you wanted to donate but didn't get the chance, please consider sending a donation through Paypal to "desireetruett@gmail.com" and put in comments "Justin's Travel Fund" or use the really cool "Donate" button at the top of this page.  You may also email me if you'd like to send a check by mail and I will provide the address.  Donations made for travel expenses are NOT tax deductible, but we greatly appreciate the help.  We will need approximately $7,000 for plane tickets, lodging, and getting Justin's dog back (I love the sound of that!).

Thank you again for everyone who shared Justin's story, donated, forwarded emails, volunteered...WE DID IT because of you!

With so much love and gratitude,

The Truett Family
