A Teacher and Students Raise Money For a Disabled Veteran’s Service Dog

Youngker High School teacher, Marie Buquicchio, along with students in the afterschool club, 'Hands 4 Paws', has come up with an idea to dye their hairs as a fundraising effort to help a disabled veteran get their own service dog.

"Of the participants, one is my son, one is a veteran, one is a substitute teacher and one is an ESS compliance officer. They are my victims cough cough, my volunteers," said Buquicchio. The condition is that if the volunteers are able to raise $500, they are given the privilege to dye their hair.

‘Hands 4 Paws’ is a student-run afterschool club and it regularly raises money for animals. But this time, they want to help some humans as well. Once they’re able to raise about $30,000 - the price for a service dog, they’re hoping to announce the lucky veteran who’ll receive the pup on April 23, 2022.
