Thank You Canine Partners for Life (CPL)!!!!

I can't keep my mouth shut for the life of me, but if I did I am sure I would explode from excitement because this.  This is a God thing, happening from pure blessing.  Out of research and emails came an application… an application that I threw away.  
     But months later I received a message from the producers of that application.  They said, "We know your blind.  We know you use a wheelchair… but if you apply, we will try and help you."  After three years I felt my search was over because I found the place, that will train the dog, to help me.  
     Thank you God!!!  Thank you CPL!!

It's been over three years, over three years, of research, emails, and the applications.  I was always denied for the same reason; having a combo pack of disabilities.  Either guide dog Schools didn't like me because I use a wheelchair or service dog training schools didn't like me because I'm legally blind. 
       At one point I thought I had a lead on a service dog training place that would help me. I asked my mom to print out the application but instead she printed out CPL's application.  
I emailed CPL and then a week later with no response I threw away the printed application.  
       Months later, in July I got a response telling me that they would try their best to help me if I filled out an application.  So I filled out an application and it's all working out from there. :)
