Hello my name is Tamar, I am 13 years old.

Due to severe abuse as a child I suffer from a syndrom called complex post trauma.

It means I feel fear and sense danger all the time and am afraid to go out of the house.

Most nights I can’t fall asleep and when I do I wake up from nightmares where I feel the abuse is happening live.

I depend on others all the time. When I am alone outside of the house I am flooded by scary memories.  I start thinking about scary situations that happened to me. 

I get headaches, stress in my throat, a mix of emotions, a bad feeling in my stomach and chest.  

I feel as if my body is trapped.

My music and my drawings are my sources of life when I can balance myself with the colors and the sounds.

They give me a dimension where I can fill myself with my own creativity.

When my uncle brings his cats and dogs, it’s like opening a window to another world. 

It reminds me that there are good things in life even when it’s hard.

A service dog that would be trained for my unique needs would be for me the first step towards a life that would enable me to learn to exist and empower myself in those moments when I go to school, listen in classes and meet friends.

My dream is to change reality, feel better, be able to leave the house on my own, be able to sleep and make my dreams come true.

This is why I am asking for you help.
