Meet Hannah and SDV Clara

Hannah recently spent a peaceful week in the Outer Banks — something that once felt impossible. Before receiving a service dog, even the idea of traveling alone to another state felt out of reach.

Everything changed when Clara entered her life.

Clara alerts Hannah to low cortisol levels, helping her stay safe, steady, and confident no matter where she goes. With Clara by her side, Hannah experienced the ocean with new freedom — the calm of the waves, the independence of exploring, and the joy of knowing she wasn’t alone.

This Giving Tuesday, your generosity can help create more life-changing partnerships like Hannah and Clara’s.
Your compassion makes independence possible — giving others the chance to live safely, confidently, and freely.
