WPBF covers the story of Amber Muller a Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor, who is raising funds to cover the costs associated with a medical service dog from Guardian Angels.

Recipient Haylee talks to Janae Muchmore from WINK News, and tells her how her Service Dog, Spree has helped her return to school after surviving the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas School Shooting on February 14, 2018.

Haylee tried for months to return to school after the shooting, but each time she tried, panic would set in. It wasn’t until Haylee was paired with Spree that she was able to finally return and begin living her #NewNormal.

This interview aired on the one year anniversary of the tragedy.

Many thanks to Recipient, Gina for allowing us to share her story.
