7 August 2024

Client Stories

Cheryl is sitting on a park bench, with a colourful mosaic wall behind her. She is wearing a black zip up jumper, red shoes, a green top and black jeans. She is smiling with her blonde labrador guide dog Joanie sitting between her legs. Joanie is wearing a brown guide dog harness.

The life changing impact of a loyal companion.

When Cheryl looks back at life before her guide dogs, it’s now clear how much she needed the support, comfort and security she enjoys every day, thanks to your kindness.

“Joanie is such a loyal companion, she really helps me live my life the way I want. Having a guide dog has made my condition more visible. Now if I’m looking a bit lost, people are more willing to come up and say, ‘Do you need a hand?’”.

Thanks to generous people like you, not only has Cheryl got her life changing guide dog Joanie, she’s also learned braille, accessed white cane training, returned to study and now works as a ministerial writer.
