How One Dog Can Help Veteran Mark Hear Hope Again

When Veteran Mark returned home to Florida after years of service, he faced a challenge few could see — hearing loss that made daily life and work more difficult and dangerous. Yet like every true hero, Mark never stopped serving others. What he needs now is a trained medical alert dog that can help him hear life again, stay safe, and focus on his mission.

According to Canines For Heroes, the cost to train and pair one medical alert dog can reach over $15,000, covering months of professional training and care. For veterans like Mark, that’s a price they simply can’t shoulder alone. That’s where your generosity changes everything.

 

A Hero Who Still Serves

Even with his hearing loss, Mark continues to serve others through his work and volunteerism. But without reliable sound awareness, he’s often at risk — missing alarms, voices, or approaching vehicles. A medical alert dog trained to recognize and respond to critical sounds could restore not only his safety but his confidence and independence.

Your donation helps fund this training — giving Mark a partner who will alert him to alarms, doorbells, or even his name being called. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps this hero regain something priceless: peace of mind.
