“Being involved with AIR and AIR Dogs has definitely been a positive experience for my son, Matthew, and me. Matthew usually doesn’t want to go out, but he’ll do whatever involves our AIR Dog, Roxie. It has been great for alleviating his depression and anxiety in social situations. By being on the Board, I hope to help bring similar benefits to other families.”
