Paws for Patrick End of Year 2026
As the year draws to a close, we are honoring bringing comfort and connection of animals to young people facing mental health challenges. Our mission, inspired by the memory of Patrick and the unconditional love he found in his dog, Cici, has become a powerful legacy. Since 2020, we have reached 40,000 young people and their families through the power of unconditional love an animal provides.
That is an achievement powered by compassion—but the need is still immense.
Today, we are asking you to invest in the next chapter of this legacy. A year-end gift will launch us toward our ambitious goal and help us reach the next 40,000 youth in need.
Your donation before December 31st helps us expand our life-changing programs. You are directly supporting the placement of Emotional Support Animals (ESAs), giving young people a stable, loving companion—the daily anchor they need to manage anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. And you are funding our Therapy Dog visits, which deliver essential, calming comfort through outreach to more schools, youth mental health facilities, and community organizations.
The time to act is now. Please make your tax-deductible donation today to ensure the next 30,000 young lives find comfort and connection through the unconditional love of animals.
