Hi, my name is Rachel. The past year has been extremely difficult for me. I experienced childhood trauma and I am now coming to terms with it. I have been suicidal at times and the thought of not wanting to go on has been a regular thought, unfortunately. Thanks to my husband Scott and our dog Chewy I have taken the steps to get help.
If you deal with depression, anxiety or PTSD you know that thinking the worst is going to happen, is a regular occurence. Chewy has become my best friend and the thought of losing him is overwhelming to me. He is 7 years old. I hope he has lots of years left to live because the thought of losing him is crippling. I cant imagine going on without him.
This is where me asking you for help comes in. The puppy you see in this picture is Toad. I desperately want to adopt him. But I have been on a mental health medical leave and I have limited resources. PLEASE help me adopt this sweet boy. If he does become mine, his name will be changed to Maple. I know to some of you this may seem silly or unnecessary. But for me it will give me hope and to take on the future with less fear. I never knew how much a dog could bring me joy, support and love.
If you find it in your heart to donate, I would be forever grateful!
Thank you for being here.
