Hi, my name is Ernestine friends and fam call me Tine

For almost 10 years, I’ve been living on dialysis, fighting every day to keep going. It hasn’t been an easy road, but I’ve learned to stay strong and keep faith. Now, I’m facing another challenge—my doctors have told me I need parathyroid surgery. This surgery is necessary for my health, but it also means I’ll need time to heal and recover.

To be honest, it’s very hard for me to ask for help. I’ve always tried to handle things on my own, with only my dog by my side. But this time, I can’t do it alone. Between the hospital bills, recovery costs, and the time I’ll need to get back on my feet, the expenses are overwhelming.

That’s why I’m reaching out to you.

Your support—whether it’s through a donation, a share, or a kind word—would mean the world to me. Every little bit helps lighten the load and brings me closer to healing.

How you can help:

• Donations will go toward surgery expenses, hospital care, medications, and recovery needs and my dog needs

• Sharing this fundraiser with friends, family, or your community would also make a huge difference.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your kindness and generosity give me hope and strength as I face this next chapter in my journey.

With gratitude,

Tine & Murphy my loyal dog
