"WISH" Puppy Needed

Meet "William" - Christopher's newest young fighter!
William is an energetic, third-grader who attends Unity Grove Elementary School in Locust Grove, Georgia.  He is nine years old and enjoys playing video-games, reading adventure novels, playing with Lego toys and going on vacations (he calls his "adventures").  He is a University of Georgia Bulldogs football fan.  He absolutely adores animals of all kinds. Like many other boys, he loves Star Wars movies and can talk about superheros
for hours. Unlike many other boys, he was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy when he was nine-months old.  He never walked, crawled, or rolled over on his own.  He relies on others for all his basic needs like eating, dressing, being put in his wheelchair, going to the bathroom, brushing his teeth and even turning over during the night.  He uses a machine to help him cough and another to help him breathe at night.  He needs help positioning things so he can read, talk on the telephone, play with toys or play video games.  If he drops something, he has to wait until he can ask someone to pick it up. If he wants to go out a door, even a handicap accessible one, he has to wait for someone to open it for him.  Sometimes he even has to ask others to pick up his head when he loses head control or to pick up his arm so he can reach his electric wheel-chair's joystick to drive.  

However, the most amazing thing about William is that he doesn't let his mobility "disable" him.  Once, because he was driving his wheelchair someone asked him, "What's wrong with you?" He quickly and honestly replied, "Nothing, why?"  He, and everyone who knows him, truly believes that.  He is often heard telling people, "I am just like any other kid!"  He is, and his bright spirit and can-do attitude inspires everyone who knows him.

OK, Team 1Boy4Change - we need a puppy! We got a puppy for Wyatt - NOW lets get a puppy for William! We have a trainer ready to help William and his family train the puppy - we just need the puppy! *Female German Shepherd - Stock coat and around 8 weeks old*

Meet Wyatt!

He is seven years old and he has autism! He is my newest 1Boy4Change "Little Fighter" and he has a wish! Wyatt's wish is for a plush coat German shepherd puppy to be trained into a service dog for him!

I posted Wyatt's wish on my 1Boy4Change Facebook page and shortly after lunch his wish was granted! So many wonderful people stepped up and offered to donate a puppy to him. I sorted through all of the offers with the help of Wyatt's Mom. I believe with God's guidance we found the Perfect Puppy!

The puppy is coming from a very wonderful breeder in Michigan. When I post the picture of Wyatt's puppy I will post the breeders information... Feel free to send her a "thank you" note to let her know how much Team 1Boy4Change appreciates her help!

THANK YOU to everyone that worked so hard today on granting Wyatt's wish - I am so PROUD of all of you!

TODAY, APRIL 9th - WE MOVED MOUNTAINS!
