Assistance Dog for Akira

Single mum Vali Slater is raising money to get her daughter Akira an assistance dog. 

Akira, 3, has autism, developmental delay and atypical childhood epilepsy with negative myoclonic seizures. 

Every 10 minutes Akira's epilepsy causes her body to jolt and her head drops, often causing her to fall and hit her head. 

Akira needs an assistance dog but that will cost $20,000.
