Shawn and Mark sit down with Meghan Wald, a resilient breast cancer

survivor and devoted wife of a Marine. Meghan has transformed her

personal challenges into a mission to support veterans through the

K9Hereoes4Heroes organization. Her journey began when she trained her

German Shepherd, Fiona, as a support dog during her cancer treatment—an

experience that ignited her passion to expand K9Hereoes4Heroes to Kansas

City.

In this deeply moving conversation, Meghan opens up about the

organization's mission to provide fully trained service dogs to veterans

suffering from PTSD, anxiety, and other service-related conditions. She

discusses the emotional and physical healing these service dogs offer,

emphasizing their vital role in improving veterans' quality of life.

Meghan also highlights the ongoing "As Long as it Takes" fundraiser,

aimed at raising $25,000 to train a service dog named Beno in honor of

fallen Army Ranger Trent McDonald and his loyal canine partner.

Meghan sheds light on the challenges veterans face in accessing mental

health resources and how service dogs bridge that gap by offering

unwavering companionship and emotional support. She passionately

advocates for greater public awareness about the rights and roles of

service dogs, stressing the importance of educating communities to

reduce stigma and increase acceptance.

Discover how Meghan and the Kansas City Chapter are actively

collaborating with local organizations like the Veterans Community

Project to connect veterans in need with life-changing service dogs.

Meghan also shares exciting plans to establish on-site training

facilities and host interactive awareness events, including the highly

anticipated Engagement Day in April, designed to foster community

engagement and support for veterans.

✨ Witness Meghan's unwavering dedication and be inspired by how one

person's resilience can spark meaningful change in the veteran

community.
