Picture: This picture was taken this Friday 4/12/13. Arizona Goldens LLC gave us tickets to the Dbacks game that were donated to them. The Dbacks had donated a portion of their sales to different Autism communities. There were a few vendors and booths set up on the 300 level. Lucas struggles being in crowds and loud noise. We have been trying for years to make into the Suns games or Dbacks games. We started at being able to just stay for 5 minutes and now we are up to 30 minutes or so. However, this was the FIRST time EVER that Lucas asked to sit with Becker (the service dog next to him) and he quietly watched the game for the most part. Becker had to leave so then we had to go to our actual seats. The 50+ people around us were witnesses that with the service dog you could see the difference. We struggled to keep him with us. We can't wait to be able to enjoy family outings without so much struggle!

100 Amazing People Quest
Dear Friends & Family,
April is Autism Awareness Month! Please help us SHINE A LIGHT on Lucas! We are looking for 100 amazing people that will pledge $100 for Lucas’s Service Dog.
We have been blessed so far with incredibly generous donors. We have a total of $5,354 as of today! As you will be hearing everywhere this month, Autism does not wait! Lucas struggles with it every day. We are looking for 100 people that can help us narrow our gap and make it possible for us to get Lucas closer to the support and help he needs.
You may have $100 right now that you can donate! Thank you! Make you donation today on www.servicedogforlucas.com or mail a check payable to The Bryan Family Service Dog to PO BOX 10406 Tempe AZ 85284. Then, send this email to 10 of your best friends and/or family and tell them that you helped this little boy and you are hopping they can help him too.
For the rest of us, let’s brainstorm! You may have some old items in your garage that you can make a quick $100 on CraigsList. Or you could present this email to your work friends or play group and see if they could all pitch in for $100. You may know a business owner that could donate goods for us to sell or that could easily help us spread the word so we could get more pledges.
We promise whatever you pick to do, it will be such a good use of your time, of your effort--and even when you are doing it for him, it may just feel great for you to know that you will be blessing Lucas’ life tremendously.
You will see lot’s of great Autism organizations asking for your donation this month. You will make a direct impact into Lucas’ life when you choose to support our family!
This service dog will change this little boy’s life for the better! Not only Lucas’ life but our entire family!
Please make a pledge today and help us find 100 more special people to help us narrow the gap!
Lots of Love,
The Bryan Family!

we need your help
Lucas is a happy six-year-old boy with a big heart. He also has Autism. He has been working pretty much his entire little life towards overcoming the challenges associated with Autism. About a year ago our family found out about Autism service dogs and how these amazing animals can help. We then started our journey into research. Coincidently, a couple of the places where Lucas has his therapies also started working with Autism service dogs during their sessions. We started receiving reports that just the dogs’ presence had an effect on Lucas, helping him finally be able to sit at a table and complete a task without jumping out of his chair to run away. He opened up to the dog in a way we never imagined and improved his socialization to the people around him. We decided it was time to help Lucas have this support in the home and community.
An Autism service dog will improve Lucas' quality of life in many ways. One of our main fears is that Lucas will become lost or run directly into traffic, as he is fascinated by moving cars. Two such scares in the past few months have made it clear that we need a specially trained canine helper to alert us if Lucas is on the run or act as an anchor if he is in danger. Lucas also has seizures occasionally and his Autism service dog will be trained to alert us if he begins to have a seizure. Our family has had the opportunity to spend some time with service dogs and we have seen a huge difference in Lucas’ behavior when he’s with a dog. Normally we have to hold Lucas’ hand or strap him in a stroller if he’s outside. But for the first time in his life, we were able to let Lucas walk down the sidewalk by himself as he was holding the leash of one of these service dogs. When Lucas finds the dog that is the match for him, the two of them will create a bond during the training process that will last a lifetime. We are certain that Lucas will be safer and the problem behaviors with Autism will be improved.
These service dogs are custom trained for each individual child’s needs. They receive about 3000 hours of training. Just like seeing eye dogs, they are not not cheap! Lucas' Autism service dog will cost about $22,000. We need the help of our family, friends and community in order to make this happen. We are certain that Lucas’ overall progress will improve and this change will affect our family and the community as well. We could really use your help to raise the funds to give Lucas this important support now and throughout the rest of his life.
This service dog will be a tremendous blessing to our son and our family. We are blessed to have the community help us. It will be a service dog for our son but we know that it's only because the community is making it possible.
