HeartWorm Treatment For Bernadette
Donation protected
(June 5th, 2015)
Hi, I'm Katie. I'm 26 years old, disabled and in the past 8 years have lost my stepfather, my mother, my father, and yesterday my little dog Baby, who I have had since I was 17. I suffer from BiPolar Disorder, Anxiety and PTSD and am as of now unable to work. In the past I have had multiple suicide attempts, self harmed and been in very dark places, places that I was pulled out of by medical intervention and three very special dogs, one of whom I had to let go yesterday.
But I'm not the important one here. That would be Bernadette (and by association, her "brother" Bean and their roommate, my stepmom's dog Rocky). When we lost Baby, I had a bloodtest done on Bernadette for heartworms. Due to my own medical expenses and a false belief that because Bernadette is a primarily inside dog and they "don't get worms" I did not have her on a prevenative, and that mistake is going to haunt me, because she came back positive.
Right now I am doing everything I can to get the money to have Bernadette treated, Bean and Rocky tested and if necessary, them treated as well. I have very little, little income, few possessions and not a lot in the way of family help. I also have very little pride, I will beg and do whatever it takes to get my dogs healthy. I am selling off whatever I have that is of value, including the few things left to me by my father, because I know my dogs are more important than possessions, but their value isn't going to be enough to save them.
If you can donate, please, please do. If you can't, then please share my story and maybe it will reach someone who can. My dogs saved my life, please help me save theirs.
