Regina Brown was looking for resources for her daughter Jasmine when she was connected with Atlantic CIL through the Mental Health Association in Atlantic County. "Dawn is a wonderful person, she always reaches out to both of us. Jasmine has Autism and doesn't typically want to talk on the phone but she knows Dawn and always wants to talk to Dawn. She makes us feel relaxed and gives us the support we need."
Regina is a dog lover and when she sadly lost her German Shepard T-Bone in 2019 she wasn't sure if she was ready to find another. During the pandemic many people have felt isolated and lonely, Regina confided in Dawn and talked through the idea of getting a new dog.
​Regina and Jasmine welcomed Lo-Jack into their family in March of 2020. Jasmine had an instant connection with Lo-Jack and he provides them both with emotional support, friendship, and protection.
