Assistance Dogs

Greetings:

Emergency Assistance

Thanks to Guide Dog Users, Inc. for creating this fund.

The Maryland Area Guide Dog Users, Inc. did prove to be a pioneer in
creating this kind of fund many years ago, i.e. we created a fund for
emergency medical care related expenses.

For residents of Maryland, please contact the Sheehan who are copied or
included above or Vanessa who is also copied or included above for more
information.

Unfortunately, this fund still has not been expanded beyond just members of
MAGDU; however, I do hope that, for humanitarian purposes, NAGDU members
will be considered as well. That being said, the financial capitalization of
the fund is still low.

Be Safe, Prepare

Residents of the MidAtlantic region should start preparing today, perhaps
have started preparing yesterday, to have the ability to care for your guide
dog for three days, i.e. food, water, etc. Supplies should be organized and
be ready to be taken with you in the circumstance there is an evacuation,
i.e. a "to-go kit".

Civil Rights

Presuming that I am squared away, then assistance dog handlers in the
MidAtlantic region can telephone me should they encounter access issues at
shelters. As long as my own family and I are safe, I am pleased to be of
assistance via telephone with you and the shelter. To the extent there are
access rights for trainers of assistance dogs or the puppy raisers of guide
dogs, that is determined under state law and on a state-by-state basis. Be
safe.

Sincerely,
Gary C. Norman, L.L.M.

Hello GDUI members,

We hope everyone in the path of the upcoming hurricane, will be alright. We

other disaster, and is in need of emergency financial assistance to feed,
take care, etc. for their working guide dog, GDUI has recently developed the
Emergency Disaster Financial Assistance (EDFA) program. You can read the
details and qualifications on our website:

How to Contact GDUI EDFA Volunteer Staff:
Applicants and/or those assisting the applicant can call Jane Sheehan,

from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time or email requests to:

Be safe, let us know how you are doing.

Sarah Calhoun, EDFA Chair
