UPDATE: My faith in humanity has been restored through all you very generous donations. Please accept my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you!! Things continue to be difficult and seem to get more difficult day to day. Mandatory mediation was an epic fail. Both parties must be willing to give and take. I was hoping to get some relief through being flexible and giving. That didn't happen. I continue to struggle to feed Aston Martin and myself and pay bills. The stress, worry and anguish has really taken a toll on my health and it is failing. I continue to do the best I can to just get by. So here I am asking for help again. Again, Thank you my tribe!!

It pains me to ask for help. That is not how I normally operate. Things have suddenly gone very south for me. I am suddenly in the process of a very contentious divorce. I am reaching out in a time of profound crisis. I never thought I would be here at age 72 and I am in urgent need to cover basic needs for myself and my pup, Aston Martin.

I have been cut off financially to the point I cannot make our mortgage payment, buy food, pay bills and acquire daily essentials. My first priority is simply feeding myself and Aston Martin who relies on me for everything. This isn't just a matter of rebuilding; it's a matter of immediate survival. I have an attorney but this process takes time and I'm in crisis right now.

Your generous donations will go toward covering immediate expenses like groceries for myself and my pup and trying to pay at least some of the bills. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help provide a crucial lifeline during this incredibly difficult time. This support will allow me to focus on navigating my legal options without the constant terrifying worry of how I will survive day to day. I am so grateful for any help you can provide whether its a donation or simply sharing this fundraiser with your network.

Thank you for your kindness and compassion. It means the world to me and my pup, Aston Martin.

Thank you to all that have generously donated thus far. Because of your donations I can breathe a little easier.
