funding a service dog

so, as those of you who are on my facebook know, i was recently accepted to a program called NEADS that is going to provide me with a service dog who has been specifically trained to help me with things like balance, picking up items from the floor, and helping me with the dizziness i sometimes have due to a partial hearing loss.
it takes about $20,000 to raise and train each of these dogs, however, through donations and grants, NEADS is able to cover $10,500 of it. I need to raise the remaining $9,500.

i'm putting the link here in hopes that maybe some of you can donate something (nothing is too small, either) or could pass this along to someone who you think would be interested in donating. (the link to donate it next to the picture of a heart with a dog on it)

(just a note: when they set up a fundraising page, they automatically set the last name as "smith"... it will be changed to "moynihan" soon... when a page is first set up, the name is not on the dropdown menu to donate to either, do you'd have to choose "other" and type "paxton moynihan" into the box below it)
