RE: Crowdfunding Campaigns: The Emotional Toll
When we were fundraising for our service dog, the outpouring of support was emotionally intense, and so was the overwhelming sense of failure when training fell through and the fundraiser didn't bring in enough. We have an amazing support animal now, but I can't bring myself to take the steps necessary to get him service certified because the beginning and the middle of the process were such an immense drain. This article hit home.
Oh, wow. That sounds tough. That's a level of emotional involvement that may be beyond starting one's own company. I know how important service and support animals have been to friends and acquaintances so having the support (and I didn't talk much about how incredible that can feel, as that's going to be in my miracle story) to do that and then having it fall through sounds excruciating.
