205 Signatures!!! Lets get to 300!!!

Wow — 205 of you have signed to help recognize and protect emotional support animals federally. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I started this petition because emotional support animals are so much more than pets. For many of us, including myself, they are a vital part of our mental health, our stability, and our daily ability to function. Yet right now, there is no consistent federal protection for ESA owners — which means housing, travel, and everyday life can become a constant battle to justify the animal that helps keep us well.

*ESAs are not the same as service animals, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve recognition and protection under federal law.* No one should have to choose between their mental health support and their housing.

We are so close to 500 signatures, and http://Change.org promotes petitions more once we hit that milestone. That means more eyes, more signatures, and a louder voice in Washington.

*Can you help today?*
1.  Please *share this petition* with one friend, family member, or group today
2.  If you have an ESA story, *leave a comment* — your story shows lawmakers why this matters

205 to 500 — we can do this together. Thank you for standing up for ESAs and the people who love them.

With gratitude,
Judy
