The camper van has been purchased — praise God! Now we are shifting from acquisition to sustainability. Continued fundraising ensures we can maintain the unit and respond to missions without delay. 🚐💙
Help Us Bring Hope & Healing to Disaster Victims
After deploying four times for three major hurricanes in Florida, my therapy dog, Dunkin, and I have seen firsthand the challenges of disaster response:
- Long, exhausting drives – Traveling for days just to reach disaster sites.
- Lack of safe lodging – Hotels are often full or located hours away from those in need.
- Inadequate sanitation – Limited access to showers and restrooms, making it difficult to stay clean and care for Dunkin.
- Extreme physical exhaustion – Without proper rest, we’re forced to return home after just a few days—limiting our ability to help those in crisis.
The Mobile Response Unit is no longer a vision — it’s a reality. But a vehicle only fulfills its purpose when it’s deployed. Ongoing funding keeps it road-ready, mission-equipped, and able to bring comfort and hope wherever it’s needed.
Beyond disaster zones, this unit would also support our local community—helping us train for deployments and provide comfort in healthcare facilities, hospices, schools, and with first responders.
How We Help
Disaster Response
We support disaster response teams by providing emotional and spiritual care in frequently impacted areas of the Southern United States.

Health Care Facilities & Hospice
We visit memory care centers, assisted living facilities, and hospices weekly to provide companionship, reduce agitation, and promote socialization.
📌 “Dog therapy is beneficial for people with dementia.”– NIH.gov, 2008
Schools & Children
We engage with schools, camps, and youth groups to help reduce anxiety and encourage social connection.

How You Can Help
Every donation, big or small, makes a difference! Here’s how you can support:
✅ Donate – Make a secure, tax-deductible donation through the National Christian Foundation.
Make a secure, tax-deductible donation through the National Christian Foundation (NCF).
At this stage, all gifts are received into a designated NCF fund and are stewarded there while PupMedics completes the process of establishing as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We do not currently have direct access to these funds. Once nonprofit status is finalized, funds will be granted for approved mission and operational expenses. This option is ideal for donors who prefer tax-deductible giving and long-term ministry investment.
