SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — A fundraiser was held Saturday at Sinsheimer Park in San Luis Obispo to help Clio Nelson, a 15-year-old girl living with a diagnosed rare vascular formation called Cowden Syndrome.
Nelson is trying to get a service dog to help with her disorder; the dog will cost $25,000 and will help her alert others if she develops an injury.
It will also act as emotional support for Clio because she lives with general anxiety disorder.
A fundraiser softball game Saturday at Sinsheimer Park went to benefit her cause.
"I miss days (because) I have a bad flair up and I cant function. So having a service dog to just be my partner in crime and just be there would be awesome," Clio said.
