Emotional Support Animal of My Dreams

Hi, I'm Krissy, a young woman diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Clinical Depression and General Anxiety disorder. After years of struggling, in November of 2013, I attempted to end my life. Instead, I ended up in the hospital, for nearly a week, realizing I needed to put the pieces of my life back together.
I was put on medication, began therapy, and in January, began DBT classes, a group therapy to aid those with Borderline Personality Disorder. I have come so far from where I was, but there are times when I still get severely depressed, and want to hurt myself again.
My therapist suggested an Emotional Support Animal, an animal for those who have severe disorders which aids them and calms them down. I had mice for several years, but after the pain of having them pass away due to their short life span, and having to bury them, I stopped keeping them. It was too much for me.
I looked into perhaps getting a dog, but I feel that would be cruel in the small apartment I'm living in. I love cats, however, cat's tend to have their own weird personalities where they either love you or hate you and there's no in between, and I'd hate to have a cat who hated me.

Recently, a pet store opened up near where I lived, and I went with friends who needed pet food. I'm not a bird person, but I was drawn to this one bird in particular. He hopped right to the bottom of the cage and stared at me. The second time I visited, he was on his perch, and when he saw me, he jumped down and pressed his head against the bars of the cage to be petted. Which I did.
I have come to the realization I am madly in love with this bird. However, he costs $350. Because I am rebuilding me life, I cannot afford a $350 bird, even if I would give anything to have him. I am putting money away slowly, but I am so fearful he will get taken.
After researching the breed he is, a Green-cheeked Conure, I realize how intelligent, affectionate and sweet these birds are and it is only spurring my desire for this bird.

I am asking you all to help me afford him, so I can have my emotional support animal, a creature to calm me and that I can love and give affection and focus on when times get rough in my head. I cannot give anything back to you, aside from my everlasting appreciation and a mailed out thank you card.

The $400 would cover the cost of the bird and the tax, the fees that go to GoFundMe, and toys, food, and other things he will need right off the bat. After that, I will be able to afford to feed him, love him, and give my heart to him.

Please help me reach my goal so I can get not a pet, but a companion who will be by my side through all the good times and bad.
