Hi, my name is Catherine and my dogs name is peanut. I suffer from PTSD due to past trauma, anxiety and depression. Peanut is my service dog. I got him for my birthday this past September, peanut has been a lifesaver for me and my anxiety although peanut takes away a lot of my anxiety from my past that plagues me as a new mom of a puppy, I worry for our safety, as we are homeless. I’ve been struggling with homelessness, since my father died when I was 34. I am an artist and I love to make something out of nothing. I combined natural wooden pieces with found objects like glass window pieces for example that I collected outside of a house that had burned. I turned the glass into what looks like little gems and fabricate a space for a flower to fit. My pieces become very versatile. You can wear them use them as a paperweight a decoration in your home, or for your clothing.

I am desperate to have a place for my dog, peanut and myself to live and work on my art which is my livelihood today. I am 41 and only child and I don’t have any family to help. I struggle on a daily basis to just find a place to sleep for peanut, and I which takes away from the time that I could be working on my artwork, building my life back to be able to support myself and my baby, who supports me on a daily basis, due to my deeply rooted trauma. Now that he is here, the suffering is no longer too much for me to bear. I owe it both to myself and my baby peanut to have a stable, living environment. I am asking for some charitable people who are interested in helping a woman out of homelessness and her baby puppy peanut for a happy, healthy warm home. In order to rent an apartment first last and security is expensive. Feeding ourselves on monthly benefits has been a struggle in itself. I’m hoping and praying that this helps. Will get me back on my feet so peanut and I can enjoy life. I’m thinking anyone in advance who just took the time to read our short story of two little living soles in need. thank you for any help

you can provide.
