Help Joel Gray Recover After Losing Tonka

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Joel Gray. I am asking for help. I was let go from my job I had just started because my dog, who was 12, started having seizures. I had Tonka for 10 years. His first 2 years of life, he was tied to a big chain and wasn't cared for. I took him in right away. I paid $25 for the most love I ever received. Tonka would brighten anyone's day, gave kisses, and only wanted to cuddle.

I was laid off a month ago and started working for a new company. At this time, Tonka started having seizures. I spent every dollar I had to get him the help he needed. I got him on medication and a full exam. I told my company I wanted to stay a few days with him to make sure the meds were working. The owner said he has dogs and he understands. I got a text from his wife the next day and said they have to let me go. I loved my dog with every bone in my body. To get fired for that showed me what the company really stands for.

I have a job offer that will start September 17th for a great company, but I have used everything I have for Tonka's cremation and vet bills. My bank account is negative, my mortgage is overdue, and all my bills are coming up. If anyone can help me, I would be forever grateful. I will pay back as soon as I start getting my checks. I don't have credit cards. My heart hurts so bad right now as I lost my best friend. Thank you to all who listen to my story and if you have pets, please hug them a little tighter as you never know when it's their time.
