Donors and Fund Raising

06/05/2014

1 Comment

 

"Due to all the issues expressed earlier, I would like to announce that 1B4C does NOT endorse nor have we granted ANYONE to do/perform/accept donations on our behalf. ANYONE wishing to support Chris and 1Boy4Change, please do so by submitting the donation DIRECTLY TO CHRIS AND 1BOY4CHANGE.

We have too many people performing fundraisers to pay for Service Dogs In Training and Service Dogs while no income is being turned in to Chris or 1Boy4Change. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We will now perform fundraisers on our own, since those we helped can't be trusted with the generosity they receive from supporters and followers."

P.S. IF you are found to have hosted a fundraiser on behalf of Chris Carswell/1B4C in any capacity...we will seek punitive damages. We are too good to you to steal from a 15 year old that gives of himself freely thru the generosity of others.

 Service Dog Program Closed

06/04/2014

1Boy4Change was founded by Chris Carswell when he was 13 years old. It is “his” foundation – a foundation to bring him happiness from being able to help others. He picked the projects to work on – heat alarms, coffee for soldiers, service dogs for kids and veterans, and random wish granting. He put himself out there for the world to see and to judge – little did he or I know just how cruel the world would be to a tender hearted teen… In the almost three years that Chris has operated 1B4C he has withstood so many challenges and all of it ontop of battling health conditions. Well, the world had finally won – people have broken his heart one too many times with the service dog program and as of June 4th, 1Boy4Change will no longer offer “anything” as far as a service dog or service dog certification. NO more applications will be processed – the only ones that will be finished are the SDiTs that are in training now. Chris is going to continue with his heat alarm program for police K9 teams, coffee for our soldiers serving overseas, and he will continue to grant wishes from “Wish Upon A Hero”. If you have negative comments I would ask that you keep them to yourself and not post them here – if any are posted then they will be removed and you will be banned from the page.

It's a rare occasion for us...

But while conducting the Public Access Test on Cup Of NooDy 's MagicMo Mo, we observed these two notifying the staff on the presence of a SDiT (Service Dog in Training), and then volunteered their time to assist in the examination.

It's people like THIS that make Island Grove Kennels of Tennessee, Inc. efforts worth while. A very special THANK YOU to Mrs. Lewelling & Mr. Lewelling of Peak Fitness!

Congratulations to Magic Mo - now, officially SD Mo!!!

Thank You to everyone that helped with this journey! We are moving mountains and changing lives! THANK YOU!
Chris and SD Bronx
