I'm here because this year has beyond challenging, especially financially. And now to start the new year, my dog desperately needs a vet visit and x-rays, and my car overheated on the side of the highway, leaving me without a way to my new job, or to college this upcoming semester.

I'm a single mother on government assistance, trying desperately to change my financial situation and provide stability for my daughter. Because of these financial setbacks, I haven't seen or held my little girl in 3 months. Anything donated helps me to provide that stability for her, and helps me see her sooner.

Anything, no matter how small, helps my dog and I get what we need to conquer the new year. I appreciate everyone who stopped by to support me, it means the world to me right now.
