Thanks to the Office Staff At Dr. Bedingfield, Rosewell, Silver and Nourbash's Pediatric Office

Special Thanks to the office staff at our pediatrician's office for their generous donation to 4 Paws for Ability.  This enables Friends of Nathan Foundation to keep a little bit of their pledge to finish our fundraising and help another child in need.  I'm am so amazed at the generosity of everyone that Nate has touched.  Much love to everyone.

PHENOMENAL NEWS!!!!!

We have unofficially met our goal.  We had a meeting with two awesome board members from the Friends of Nathan Foundation.  Rather ironic considering the name, right?  They have agreed to finish out the last of our goal after we get the totals that are coming in this month.  We are so excited that we can celebrate Christmas and New Years knowing that I can ease up on the fundraising mission.  Ken will be happy too.  He informed me that he misses his wife... ha ha ha.  It's been a little over 2 months since we began our journey and all I can say is I couldn't have done it without YOU!!!  Everyone has stepped up to the plate and given it their all....    We have to wait for the totals to come in and then wait for the check from Friends of Nathan Foundation to come in and then we can be official.

We still have approximately $3500 to $4000 in travel expenses to raise as we will spend two weeks in Xenia Ohio once we have been assigned to a training class.  We are so excited and can't wait to start on our video to send to 4 paws depicting our lives for the trainers.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

The Friends of Nathan Foundation

We are up on the 4 Paws site
