The story of Vasiliki

Little Vasiliki needs a four-legged assistant. She needs a “guardian angel”!

This four-year-old girl, Vasiliki-Nektaria Kralli, has been diagnosed on the autism spectrum.

She has been manifesting symptoms of severe developmental disorder, communication disorder and she is exhibiting an extremely aggressive behavior towards her family but also towards herself.

After doing everything in their power in order to ease her aggressive behavior, the experts who have been treating her, suggested that the best option for this little girl were an Autism Assistance Dog. An Autism Assistance Dog can sense the child’s mood swings and is trained to provide comfort during meltdowns so that crisis are avoided. 

Takis Petropoulos, dog trainer and owner of “Friends for Life Service Dogs” will be in charge of the training of the Autism Assistance Dog, which will be by this little girl’s side in all circumstances . This dog will help her manage her emotions and tantrums and will prevent destructive and self-destructive behavior that constitutes a serious danger for her health. 

The cost of training the Autism Assistance Dog amounts to 10,000 euros, a sum that the family simply cannot afford without our help. 

Let us all provide this little girl with a better quality of life!

Let us all offer her a “guardian angel”.
