Bri's Fundraiser for RRUFF Healing Heroes

Hello! I'm Brianna Callahan, and I'm embarking on this fundraising journey for a cause that's incredibly close to my heart. As someone with deep family ties to service—my husband and father both work in law enforcement, and my mother is an Army veteran—I've seen the unique challenges our heroes face when they come home.

This year, I've had the privilege of working with a mental health organization, which has only strengthened my passion for supporting those dealing with invisible wounds like PTSD. My professional experience combined with my personal connections has shown me that healing often comes in unexpected forms—sometimes with four paws and a wagging tail.

I'm raising $1,000 for RRUFF Healing Heroes, an organization that funds service dog training for veterans and first responders battling PTSD and other invisible disabilities in the Sacramento/Placer County area. These incredible service dogs become lifelines for heroes struggling with the aftermath of their service.

The statistics are heartbreaking: 17 American veterans die by suicide each day, and more first responders lose their lives to suicide than on duty. RRUFF is fighting these statistics "1 Hero & 1 Dog at a Time" by providing:

• Service dog training with qualified trainers
• Funding for dog acquisition
• Veterinary services including spaying/neutering and vaccinations
• Additional wellness activities including peer support programs

Your donation will directly impact the lives of those who've sacrificed for our safety and freedom. Help me reach my $1,000 goal to support these heroes on their journey to healing and recovery.

Thank you for joining me in this mission to bring hope and healing to those who've given so much for us all :)
