The June 1 2025 incident was first a discussion between Executive Director Kathy Powelson and me, regarding the fact that I was exhausted from going to the vet every single week for nine months straight. This was affecting me mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially, and severely impacting my health; at the time I thought I had sciatic nerve pain, but it turns out I have severe fibromyalgia. Kathy Powelson threatened me and said if I did not go to the next appointment that I would be kicked out of the program and not be enrolled in the program any longer. She would not listen to the fact that this was impacting my health, so I told her I would have to contact the board members myself. She then took the initiative and said she would add the board members to the conversation, and I have that entire discussion recorded, including my conversation with Dr. Llewellyn.
One the dates I got wrong they stated February 25th/2025 and I keep any and all my emails and the only email I have was from Kathy Powelson Executive Director, and I already posted that in my previous blog post my most recent one I made sure it's actually february 24th/2025 I have no other emails from anyone. In regards to anything that Katelynn Denny acting President is staying in her termination papers? So, you know, you got these dates that are written down. But you don't have times your dates are mixed up. You don't have places, you don't have names. It's just again another tactic and antic to use against me to terminate me from the program, which, you know, you're gonna realize real. Soon that you know I'm not gonna give up on my dogs. I'm not gonna give up on my dog's medical care. I definitely aint gonna do that. That's for sure, that's one thing. I'm not gonna do I don't give up on my dogs and I don't give up on them. They are my world and I am their advocate, and I advocate for them. And that's what I'm exactly doing is advocate for them and listen, hey, I got a date mixed up. I thought you know, it was September. That was stated on the papers. We make mistakes. That's fine. We all do you know? And
Some of us are not gonna like each other, but that's okay. We don't have to like each other. We have to be civil with each other. And respect each other and treat each other with dignity and respect and sympathy. And empathy, because you know, my community donates to me through your program, and your program gets donations through my community. And your withholding that from me and leaving a 13-year-old senior dog without medical care and a puppy. That is being trained as a service. Dog without medical care.I don't know how in your mind you think that that is okay? And it's okay to take the community's donations and not use them for the purposes. What they're used for and don't worry. I have looked over to your website very thoroughly. And I'm still going through a lot of things and trust me, I'm not stopping. And I'm not going to stop and listen I understand people can get dates mixed up. Look, I got dates mixed up on the termination papers it happens And I had to correct myself, and I had to go back and look for the email and look for the date and the year. And there is nothing but the email that I posted in my other post. I took screenshots of the email with the date and everything. So you know, go ahead and take a look at that. And you tell me where I did anything wrong.
The Paws for Hope Better Together program agreement states a commitment to ensuring a positive and professional environment where all people are treated with respect and dignity, specifically prohibiting all forms of bullying, harassment, and violence, referred to as a violation of respect. It is actually the staff and board members who have breached this contract. I have been harassed, stalked, bullied, threatened, and coerced by staff members and board members. Using my private blog posts to terminate my enrollment is a form of stalking and harassment. By going onto my blog to read my personal information, you are invading my privacy; whether it is public or not, you should not be reading my blog to gather information. This is completely outside the scope of the program and constitutes a breach. These are actions that staff members are absolutely not supposed to do to clients enrolled in the program. These people should be held accountable for their actions, choices, and decisions. Furthermore, the fact that you do not have a Human Resource Coordinator goes against the contract again, as you are supposed to provide one for issues like this, and there is not one.
I am posting it on my blog for the public to see since its public anyways You can try to dig and find whatever you think you can to try to terminate my 13 year old senior dog and refuse my future puppy, who will be a certified service dog, but it will not work. You claim there is no funding, yet I see your constant intake of donations on your website. I would like to ask the public how much they have donated. I want people to come forward and say how much they have donated to the Paws for Hope Better Together program, and let us see if there is truly no funding for my puppy to get certified as a service dog. I would like to ask the donors if they believe they have not donated enough for it. Telling me to wait until my current dog dies to enroll another is completely unacceptable and demonstrates a total lack of empathy.
Furthermore, regarding the food delivery incident, Kathy Powelson tried to claim I was putting pressure on the program, which is false. I have the emails with Cassie Preston showing she offered to find a volunteer, and I waited over a week without hearing a word; she never once asked if my dog had enough food or if it was an emergency. When I finally added the board members to the email chain, I received a phone call from Cassie Preston where she was incredibly rude and disrespectful to me; I have that call recorded as well.
You have caused me undue stress and anxiety, which has directly exacerbated my fibromyalgia and nervous system pain. I have abided by the contract since 2021 and have never breached it. Katelynn Denny, I challenge you to prove where I have ever disrespected staff or breached my contract. You cannot, because I have not. I am going to continue to expose these lies with the evidence I have. This is not over. With everything that has happened since 2021 to 2026, I have never complained about staff. I have never made a complaint. I have never done anything, and I could have and I should have. But there was never a Human Resource Coordinator, so how am I supposed to get help with that? I still cannot get help because there is no Human Resource Coordinator, even though it is in the contract that there is supposed to be one available. They do not have one, which is completely unacceptable for situations like this.
