I am posting this wish as naughty this time, as deafness isn't life threatening.
my widowed mother has lost her hearing.
she can not hear the alarm clock, and may not notice the smoke detector. she has tried hearing aids, but had a severe allergic reaction to the materials the aid was made of. the dog will receive professional training to assist my mother daily for her safety and comfort. the Italian Greyhound is a compact, intelligent, affectionate, clean, low maintenance dog. I will also have to look for funding for training this dog, which will cost $4,500.00 Canadian. a schooled service dog costs from $20,000 to $40,000. the waiting list for a schooled dog is over two years, and the schools don't favor sending service dogs to children or the elderly.
please help me give my mother the best gift. an Italian Greyhound would be a wonderful canine partner for the rest of her life.
I am unable to pay for these things myself because I am on a disability pension due to injuries from a car accident. I have a mobility service dog, which has helped me gain independence and confidence. I know how amazing dogs can be. here you can view an Italian greyhound service dog at work.[ link ]
I am checking into rescued dogs also, but there will still be the cost of transporting the dog to our little town. the right dog has not shown up locally. I promise to care for this dog in the event of Mom's passing. (more)

I gave you 5 points! This is a great wish!
What a worthy wish I hope you are blessed by the service dog you get your mom. I hope she is blessed by knowing that she is being watched over by a guardian angel dog :)
Definitely a worthy cause but are you sure about the I.G.? It's been my experience that they tend to be hard to house train. I used to help show dogs and heard this often as I adore the breed for their look, but i will admit that was not what I showed.
Just mentioning it as something to consider.
You have my vote cause my Husband and son are both Italian and very proud of it, so good luck and you have my votes, please check out my little Italian's wish and listen to him play in the video, thanks
