Our programs are designed to support Veterans with disabilities, children with autism, and families of fallen service members, providing each with a highly trained companion that enhances their daily lives.
Lola has helped me look at everything in a more positive way! She not only provides me with physical assistance but gives my mind something to focus on each day. I knew she’d be helpful, but I never knew how much!
