A three year old from Wasilla, Alaska is getting more than just love from her grandparents, Joyce and Ernest Racenet from Danville.  At sixteen months, Caitlin was diagnosed with an incurable disease know as Tuberous Sclerosis Complex.  This disease can cause one to have anywhere from six to thirty seizures in a day. However with permission from her doctors Caitlin is eligible for a seizure assistance dog from an Ohio based organization that trains dogs for a variety of different disabilities a child may have.  But it will cost about $11,000 dollars and the family has only been able to raise $4,500 dollars. The family is looking to local restaurants for their next fundraising efforts.

Those interested in making donations or looking into service dogs can visit Four Paws at www.4pawsforability.org.
