Yogi was more than just a raccoon—he was my child, my companion, and my light in the darkness. I raised him from before his eyes were even open, bottle feeding him and teaching him everything he needed to know. He would suckle on my arm to comfort himself to sleep, and as he grew, his mischievous antics brought me endless joy and laughter. Yogi helped me through some of the darkest times of my life, especially as I struggled with PTSD. He would sleep on top of my head and always seemed to know when I needed comfort. His presence was a constant source of hope and healing for me.

Tragically, Yogi was hit by a car, and I am now faced with the painful task of saying goodbye. I want to honor him with a proper cremation and a special urn to keep his memory close. The costs for this are more than I can manage on my own, and I am reaching out for help from anyone who understands the bond between a person and their beloved animal.

On top of this heartbreak, my elderly dog Daisy—who is also my emotional support animal—was recently attacked by a pitbull and needs urgent medical care. She has been by my side for years, offering comfort and support when I need it most. Any support you can offer will go directly toward Yogi's cremation and urn, and any additional funds will help pay for Daisy's vet bills. Your kindness would mean the world to me as I try to honor Yogi and care for Daisy during this difficult time.

The funds will go directly towards Yogi’s cremation, urn, and Daisys Veteranry visits. Her ear and back leg sustained the majority of injury. Being that she’s 8 years old, she will need a lot of care that I unfortunately cannot afford at this time. Thank you for reading. If you can’t donate, please share on any platform.
