CONCRETE FOOTPRINTS CORPORATION

Currently, we have two impressions, Animal Out and iTELLsecrets, that we are imprinting through our communities.

IMPRESSION ONE: We are committed to gifting one or more service dogs annually to a Veteran in need, so they will choose to live another day. Animal Out is partnered with SFC (Ret) Ernie Rivera, owner of Valor Medical Service Dogs in Chuluota, Florida who trains service dogs to be gifted. The cost to have a service dog trained through our partnership is $5000. Many organizations then charge the Veteran additional funds for the one-on-one trainings to acclimate the dog and owner. That cost could be $15,000 or more, many of our Veterans do not have the financial resources to afford this support. For every $5000 that Animal Out receives in donations a service dog will be gifted to a Veteran in memory of Jeremy R. Kinker (1978-2019), who became a 22-a-day Vet suicide statistic.

IMPRESSION TWO: We are dedicated to getting awareness to children ages 3-12 that it is okay to say no and about telling when someone is having them keep a sexual abuse secret. Reportedly there is a child victimized every 9 minutes in the United States and 93% of the abusers are related or a trusted acquaintance of the child. These efforts are concentrated through booths at fair and carnival events where iTELLsecrets currently hands out our very own coloring activity books and balloons for free through the generous donations we receive.
