Nowadays more and more children struggle with anxiety, low confidence, social interaction or fear of animals. LaPacho, our gentle four-legged volunteer, helps them feel safe, build trust and connect with others. Through supervised activities at the NABU Foundation, children experience empathy, acceptance and the joy of friendship. Your donation will help us care for LaPacho and continue creating meaningful experiences that help children grow in confidence.
LaPacho is an active dog with special health needs. He has struggled with juvenile arthritis and Lyme disease, and still experiences problems with his legs that require ongoing attention, regular veterinary check-ups and continuous treatment. Providing him with proper nutrition, medical care and everything he needs to stay comfortable comes with significant and recurring costs. We want to make sure he receives the care he deserves so he can continue bringing joy and support to many more children
The project will provide LaPacho with the ongoing medical care and proper nutrition needed to manage his health conditions. This will allow him to safely continue participating in supervised activities at NABU, where children can interact with him, learn how to approach and care for a dog, and develop empathy and responsibility. His presence will also support children who feel shy or less confident, helping them build trust, communicate and feel more comfortable in a group.
By ensuring LaPacho's well-being, we hope to give him many more happy and comfortable years. His continued presence at NABU will allow more children to experience friendship, develop confidence, overcome fears, and build positive relationships. Every donation helps care for a special member of our team and makes it possible for more children to benefit from his gentle presence. Together, we can ensure that LaPacho continues spreading kindness, trust, and happiness wherever his paws take him.
