Canines for Disabled Kids (CDK) is a non-profit organization based in MA. They help kids with disabilities gain independence and participate more fully in society through canine-assistance programs and resources.
Since 1998 CDK has sponsored over 130 assistance dogs; they have been able to increase the number of children being accepted for assistance dogs, and reduce the wait time for many of these children to between 3 months and 1 year, rather than 2 years or more.
Want to hear about a fun and unique way to donate CDK? Check out My Pet Balloon. This was created with the thought in mind of allowing children to simulate the child-pet experience - with a little imagination. My Pet Balloon come in a variety of animals from dinosaurs to ladybugs to ponies to pandas and everything in between. They are large, durable, helium-filled balloon animals, with legs and leash. Once filled they last a couple of weeks ... when they start to soften/deflate just bring them back to a store and ask to refresh the helium!
How does this help out CDK? Read this link to see the partnership between the two organizations. When you order a My Pet Balloon through this link then $5 will be donated directly to CDK. Win-win. A unique gift for your child and an automatic donation to a wonderful organization that helps kids with disabilities acquire service dogs.
