2024 Mission
Meet Cocoa
We are thrilled to announce that we are partnering with the Stratham Volunteer Fire Department this year to raise awareness of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in First Responders. PTSD is a mental health condition that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, series of events or circumstances. An individual may experience this as emotionally or physically harmful or life-threatening and may affect mental, physical, social, and/or spiritual well-being. (Psychiatry.org)
We are partnering with a retired Assistant Fire Chief and his service dog Cocoa with the goal of raising funds for Cocoa's training. The cost of purchasing a trained service dog can be as high as $50,000, depending on the needs, and insurance does not typically cover of any it. Training takes approximately two years and the typical “working life” for a service dog is between 6 and 8 years.

Purchase your sticker to help raise awareness of PTSD in First Responders. Proceeds go to train Cocoa, service animal for a Stratham First Responder.
