Help needed

I have been running my rescue for over 11 years now from my home, it happened by accident really , I had just got my Facebook account and had seen a post about a dog in a terrible situation abroad, I didn’t know where at the time, I reached out to the lady and offered to foster her and find her a home, I did some fundraising and collected enough money to bring her to the Uk and another dog, that was Tara and Bella who are both still in their loving homes. So this is how it all began, it snowballed after that , there were and still are so many dogs and cats in terrible situations abroad and also in the uk which I try to help if I can. I have made many sacrifices because of the growing number of dogs in my home which for one reason or another will never be adopted, because of either behavioural reasons or disability, my son lives in Australia and has just had a baby which I will be lucky enough to meet in July when he will be coming over, but I will never be able to visit them as some of my dogs bite strangers so getting someone in to look after them isn’t an option. Sadly 3 years ago my father died, he lived in Cyprus, in his will he left me and my siblings a share of his house, I was hoping that the money from the sale of that would pay off my mortgage which will come to the end of its term in October this year, being 62 and on a very low income because I can’t work long hours because of the dogs I find myself in this predicament, I am £11,000 short to pay back the mortgage, I suppose most people in this situation would sell and downsize, but with dogs in every room I don’t think that’s feasible, the money from the sale would’ve almost covered it, but I lost £8,000 in the exchange from euros to pounds . So here I am with the begging bowl out yet again, because if I am forced to sell I don’t want to think about what would happen to my dogs.

Thank you for reading to the end.
