Dear CST Supporters and Friends,
I am reaching out with an urgent and heartfelt appeal. For the past five years, the federal funding supporting our program has been instrumental in allowing us to serve our wounded warriors and individuals with disabilities. Unfortunately, we have just been informed that this vital federal support will not be available for 2026.
This news is devastating and creates an immediate, critical challenge for our organization. With December 31st—the date when our current funding expires—looming quickly, we are faced with a situation that threatens the very future of our program. We cannot afford to let our work come to an abrupt halt, especially knowing how many lives depend on us.
This is where we need you—your support, your generosity, and your commitment to continue our mission. Now is the time to act. We must rally together to bridge this funding gap, and every donation made today will directly impact our ability to keep helping those who have served.
Please explore our website to learn more. You can donate at CONTRIBUTIONS – Canine Support Teams, Inc. Your generosity, no matter the amount, will help us sustain this essential work and ensure that these life-changing service dogs continue to bring hope and independence to our veterans and individuals in need.
Time is of the essence—we cannot do any of this without you. Please act today before the opportunity to save this program slips away.
Thank you for your unwavering support and for believing in the mission of CST. Together, we can rise to this challenge and continue making a difference.
With urgent gratitude,
Darryl Howard
Chief Executive Officer
