Hi everyone,

I’ve never been someone who shares my private business or asks for help. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the one taking care of things, working hard, and making it work. But the last year has been a slow, painful spiral downhill, and I’ve finally hit the point where I have to admit I need some help.

It’s been a lot to carry all at once. In a short span of time, I lost a career of nearly 10 years, went through the weight of filing for bankruptcy, and am now navigating a divorce. It feels like everything I’ve built over the last decade has come to a crash.

My health has taken a serious hit from the stress, and right now, my main priority is finding a safe landing for myself and my five animals—my three dogs and my two sugar gliders. They are my world and my family, and keeping us together is the most important thing to me as I move forward.

The hardest part is that I am losing the life I truly thought was forever. I believed this house, this marriage, and this pack were my future—this was the life I was all in on. Now that the marriage is ending, I’m facing the reality of having to relocate myself and my animals on my own. Because this happened so abruptly, I haven’t had the time needed to secure full time work and build a financial cushion for a move of this scale.

Finding a rental that will accept three dogs is a massive challenge. My hope is to find a private landlord who is sympathetic to our situation and willing to give us a chance. I have a limited amount of time to get us settled, and I'm doing everything I can to ensure we have a place to go.

I’m reaching out to ask for help building a "bridge" to that next chapter so I can finally have a moment to breathe and heal.

Your support will help with:

• Moving Expenses: Since I’m navigating this move on my own, I need to hire professional movers to help pack and move a decade of life and furniture.

• The Bridge: Helping with security deposits and a couple of months' rent while I transition into full-time work and focus on my health.

• Legal Fees: Helping me navigate the divorce process so I can move toward a fresh start.

I’m just looking for a way to get me and the pack to the other side of this. If you can’t donate, even just sharing this or sending a kind word means more to me than I can say. Thank you for seeing me and for your support.

With love and gratitude,

Zohar
