First, I just want to say thank you for everything. This program has blessed my life by providing my dog, Lilo and I with the proper certification that we had so desperately sought for three years. Lilo has kept me alive many times when I thought I couldn't take it any more. She it the best friend a man could ever dream of having.

When I have been asked how I remain dedicated to driving four hours each way each week, I find myself dumbfounded as I am only grateful and appreciative for this awesome opportunity. Yes, throughout the program I struggled in my personal life and my car even gave trouble; however, every time I showed up for class everyone was there in the most comforting and coring way. Everyone in this wonderful program are outstanding individuals who have taken much time into helping me in my own life, along with countless others.

Lilo and I searched for years for this opportunity until your organization accepted us and provided us with more than I could have ever asked for. I can only express my true gratitude to this program and what it has not only done for me and my pup, but also for my daughters as Lilo only helps my struggles with ptsd. There have been times I have not gone in the hospital simply because Lilo was not allowed with me until she was fully certified.

This program is amazing and I would love to pay it forward in helping any other veteran who might have obstacles in their way. Thank you all so very much for what you have done

for Lilo and I.

Sincerely,

Adam and Lilo Melendy, US Army
