My dog of ~2 years, Finn, got in a fight with one of his homies this past weekend. Needless to say, my boy got pretty roughed up, requiring 28 stitches covering 4 bad lacerations. Though he's recovering well, my wallet is in the trauma ward.

My story: I was laid off in June 2024, attended a Data Analytics bootcamp from September 2024 through January 2025, and have a Data Engineering contract since March 2025 that ends after September 2025.

Why I'm asking: I have 3 more paychecks, paid monthly, left on my current contract without future work available after that. I'm applying EVERYWHERE; I'm even looking back into kitchen work. But the main point is, I simply can't afford to pay off his medical debts if I don't secure work after September.

This is where you come in! I legit am only asking for $1 from anybody willing to help out. I've got an extensive network of friends and fans that I've either made laugh or taken a great photo of at a concert/party! If even half of my network donated $1, I'd be set.

So, if I've ever made you laugh, been a friend, or have graced you with my camera lens, please consider a $1 donation to help afford these medical bills.
