Sheer joy.

Here is the newscast about our family. http://www.king5.com/news/get-jesse/Kitsap-County-family-promised-service-dog-by-charity-gets-Jesse-167922135.html

A lawsuit was filed by the Illinois state attorney general against a charity that promised a Kitsap County family a service dog, but didn't deliver or offer a refund. Jesse Jones tells how this story now has a happy ending.

Just a reminder, we are one of the families scammed by Lea Kaydus. We are NOT that Animals For Autism :) http://www.mommyrambles.com/2012/08/23/animals-for-autism-finally/

Approximately 18 months ago, my family thought we had found something that would help our daughter. A service dog from Animals For Autism. Instead what happened was 18 months of stress, anxiety, sadness, and even fear. Our family and many others

Do you wonder what is going on with Lea Kaydus, Pepsi Refresh, and the Pepsi Pups scam? So are we. http://speaking4sam.wordpress.com/2012/06/01/pepsi-pups-update/

A few questions about the Pepsi voting. http://www.mommyrambles.com/2012/05/05/something-is-rotten-pt-2-pepsi-pups/

Just a reminder, we are the family featured. We have this page as a way to help educate others so they do not go through what we went through. If you would like to direct your comments somewhere, perhaps GlobalGiving would listen to you. Goodness knows they have not listened to the families that did not receive a service animal from the organization Animals For Autism, even though GG oversaw the grant. Here is our happy news story thanks to 4 Paws For Ability. http://www.king5.com/video/featured-videos/Kitsap-Co-girl-will-finally-get-her-service-dog-148979415.html

In January, Jesse Jones told you about a charity that didn't deliver, and left a child with a broken promise. Someone has stepped up to make her wish for a service dog come true. Here's a Get Jesse follow up.

Just a quick reminder post. We are NOT the "organization" Animals For Autism that is associated with Lea Kaydus. We ARE one of the families that were scammed by her.

Thank you!
