Letters Of Recommendations

• "Take A Bite Out Of Abuse is beneficial for both students and the community. Lisa Freeman's presentation offers people a unique, interactive way to learn important skills that will impact their lives forever."

-Susan Wooden, Director of Curriculum, Owosso Public Schools

• "Lisa Freeman has a true heart to help others, especially children and teens. Her program to stop bullying and abuse is desperately needed in the public schools. This program will reach kids on a whole new level. She not only offers awareness to promote health, but she also will bring positive self-esteem to our communities and children."

-Paula Foster, Board Member of the Child Abuse Prevention Council

• "Lisa puts together educational workshops and adds some fun with use of her dog, Snickers. Snickers is a wonderful dog. I had the pleasure of working with him when I helped train him for the program. He's gentle, catches on fast, and has a healing personality that will be great for people of all ages."

- Jennifer Evanston, Dog Trainer 

• "My name is Zach Bonner. I've had my own non-profit organization since I was 5. Through it, I help homeless, abused, and hurting kids. I send backpacks, food, and even toys all over the world. And Lisa & Snickers have a heart for abused kids too. I think it's cool that they care enough to go into each school and put on fun, trick presentations to stop bullying, violence, and abuse. They were both abused and totally understand kids and know how to help them. Besides, what kid wouldn't want to miss an hour of school to check out a really cool dog who does tricks?"

- Zach Bonner, founder of The Little Red Wagon Foundation, Inc
