Project details

What we need
  • Specific copy from one document (up to 1000 words) translated from one language to one other of the Organization's choice
  • Note: If you need more than 1000 words translated or copy translated into more than one language, please post additional versions of this project
Additional details

We would like one 437-word document called "Do's and Don'ts of Service Dog Etiquette" to be translated from English to Spanish.

What we have in place
  • We currently have the source document, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have additional background information about our program, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,973 , allowing us to provide meals and lodging for 10 people with disabilities while they receive comprehensive training with a new assistance dog

This project will enable people with disabilities to smoothly transition into home and work life when partnered with a new assistance dog. You will be helping families to successfully integrate the assistance dog into daily living.

Testimonials

Christine was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was a prompt communicator, asked great questions to ensure she understood project parameters, and turned in a completed project well in advance of our expectations. The translation she provided was well received by our intended audience, and it will have positive impact on many families for years to come.
