Help Us Give a Veteran a Lifeline - Support a PTSD Service Dog
&nbsp;By Edward Kerfin&nbsp;
The American Legion Post 2011, believes no veteran should fight their battles alone.
Every day, veterans across our country struggle with PTSD. Too many feel isolated. Too many feel forgotten. 
And tragically, too many are lost to suicide.
American legion Post 2011 wants do something about it - right now, by raising $7,500 to help provide a professionally trained PTSD service dog for a veteran in need.&nbsp;
 These dogs are more than companions - they are lifesaving partners. They help veterans manage anxiety, interrupt panic attacks, and regain independence and peace of mind.
This is a real, tangible way to save a life.&nbsp;
Your donation will go directly toward:
&bull; Training a certified PTSD service dog
&bull; Pairing the dog with a deserving veteran
&bull; Supporting the transition and care
Every dollar brings us closer to giving a veteran hope, stability, and a reason to keep going.&nbsp;
If you can&rsquo;t donate, please share this campaign. You might reach someone who can.
Let&rsquo;s stand together for those who stood for us.

Help us reach $7,500 and change a life today.

Hope, healing & justice for abused children.

Will County Children's Advocacy Center

The Will County Children's Advocacy Center was founded in 1995 by State's Attorney James Glasgow to partner with multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) comprised of law enforcement, DCFS investigators, medical personnel, prosecutors, and Will County CAC forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists in response to reports of severe physical abuse, sexual abuse, commercial exploitation, neglect, and exposure to violence of children, in Will County, IL. Our Will County CAC intake/MDT coordinator, forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists provide the following services: * Forensic Interviews: After a child is referred to the Will County CAC by law enforcement or the IL Dept. of Family Services (DCFS), our Intake Coordinator schedules a forensic interview for the child. One of our 4 forensic interviewers listens to the child’s story and asks non-leading, developmentally-appropriate questions as the child talks about the trauma he/she has experienced. Law enforcement, prosecution, DCFS, and mental health professionals observe the interview from a separate room. This reduces trauma for the child and provides a stronger foundation if the case goes to court. * Family Advocacy: Our family advocates are committed to helping each family navigate the complex systems that a family enters when a child makes an outcry of abuse. As each case goes through the investigation, prosecution and healing process, the team is there to help the family understand the process, learn about their rights and successfully access resources that will help their family during crisis. * Trauma-Focused Therapy: Our team of licensed clinical social workers provide short-term, trauma informed therapy to children who have received a forensic interview. Since child abuse affects the whole family, the services are available at no cost to both the child and their non-offending family members. Individual and group therapy is offered in English and Spanish.
