I’m Chris, and I’m reaching out for a little help as I take a big step—moving into my very first rental home with my sweet dog, Blaise. Blaise has been in my life for five years, and she is truly like my child. This new place is more than just an apartment; it’s a fresh start for both of us. It’s the closest option I’ve found near my job that fits my budget, and it means I can stay close to my family and friends, which is so important to me.

I have a stable income and can afford the monthly rent, but the upfront costs have added up quickly. Between the down payment, pet fees for Blaise, utility setup, and required application and pest control fees, I’m facing more expenses than I can cover before my next paycheck arrives. Even after I get paid on the 13th, I won’t be able to afford everything needed to secure our new home on the next check alone.

Your support would help me cover these initial costs and give Blaise and me the chance to settle into a safe, comfortable place we can call our own. Any help you can offer would mean the world to us, and even if you can’t help financially, just sharing our story or sending good thoughts is truly appreciated. Thank you for reading our story and for considering a donation to help us get a home.
