I was robbed!

Let me start by saying how embarrassed I am to ask for help but I don't know what else to do -as I have only ever made an account for others to help in their misfortune.

I was robbed.

I just came home from a birthday trip to find that sentimental items, jewelry and my cash savings have gone missing. I felt living in the Solana Beach neighborhood that I was safe, even having security around my apartment.

I am staying calm, although I feel incredibly raw and confused. Renters insurance does not cover cash or really anything without a receipt. A police report rendered pointless. I do not have anyone to fall back on, no family, so I ask you guys, my friends, and community to help me start again. I have four beautiful animals, and I had planned on using the money I had saved to move into a new place with a yard for them instead of an apartment. Now my concern is how am I going to budget to feed them? I have been pulling from my savings every month for their special needs. Two of the fur-babies have dietary restrictions and health problems. ( If you know you know)

I am feeling the pain of being ROBBED. I'm disgusted, and scared. Why? Who? Someone entered my home and took my hard earned savings, bleeding out to covid with no work took from it already, and it was difficult enough! ( For us all )

I am not one to ask for anything because it is always so natural for me to give. I have always been self-sufficient and worked very hard for everything I have. I pour my heart and soul into everything I do. I do not take hand outs, and mostly give everything I've got to others because I've always felt fortunate to be alive and well.

In return, I would do anything for you... Physical labor, cook healthy meals for you, walk your dogs, hugs and kisses, chores, nutritional advice/suggestions( I am certified)... whatever it may be- I am very smart, capable and willing. I don't believe in not working for things, I always have. Anything helps, anything. I am so grateful for this to even be a platform for aid. I was able to help raise money here for a few people in the past. I have also organized community help for homeless and battered women. I assure you I am a "giver-backer!"

Without getting into the gory details of all of this, from the bottom of my heart I must openly speak my truth of how difficult this is for me- one more year around the sun thinking everything is going to get better and it just crumbled. Again. Everything I had planned just turned upside down.

I am hopeful, I am grateful, and I believe it will all come back some how, some way, and whoever did this, I wish them well and hope that they were in more need than I. And I forgive him/her.

Thank you so much for your support and time reading this! I love you!
