A little help to keep home.

Hi everybody my name is Joe. My dogs name is butterz. I am 54 years old and for the first time I am a bit worried about if I’m going to be able to keep my apartment. For over 23 years I managed a thrift shop and it was amazing. Unfortunately one day at the shop I had to run across a concrete floor to stop a young girl from trying to commit suicide and severely injured, my left foot which makes it difficult for me to walk at times. after that I managed a small store that specialize in oddities and movie props, and it was the best job I’ve ever had. But due to the writer strike, I unfortunately was laid off. It has been extremely difficult to find a new job of which I do have, but it does not pay very well. I’ve had to sell off all of my music equipment as well various pieces of art. I am not asking for a lot. It’s just enough to pay off some back bills that will allow me to get by on what I’m being paid. I’m also doing this to make sure that my dog has a home. I really don’t have much of a family and I don’t have too many friends, the pain in my foot, makes it extremely difficult to do anything, but I keep trying. but my dog means the world to me and I cannot take a chance of losing my home and not keeping my pup safe. If I get these bills paid off, I will be able to survive and take care of him and myself. Hopefully soon I will have health insurance to have my foot looked at I just need a little help to get by in any little bit will help. Thank you sincerely, Joe n’ Butterz.
