As many of you know, this year has been incredibly hard. I was just discharged from my 5th hospital stay this year, and my health keeps declining. I have multiple appointments and physical therapy coming up, and the copays alone are overwhelming. Twinnion has missed a lot of work caring for me — more than either of us expected — and though his employer has been understanding, it’s left us falling behind again on everything: the rent, utilities, credit cards, floor repair, etc.

I want to be clear — the donations we received before helped us so much. They paid medical bills, kept the lights on, helped with food and the animals, my eye surgery, bunches of doctor copays, house and so much more. It got us through some of the hardest months we’ve ever faced. We wouldn’t have made it this far without that help, and we are so deeply thankful. It’s just that with all the new medical expenses, time missed from work, and now losing Nacho, we’ve fallen behind again — and we’re trying so hard to keep going. Millions of Americans are going thru some of the exact same things. We've tried to get help, but because Twinnion's income looks good on "paper", we can't get help. It was said that we're like so many others falling thru the cracks.

Our Blazer still isn’t running right, and that’s made everything even harder. We need it for my wheelchair, doctor appointments, and vet visits for our other rescue babies. The costs to fix it and renew the tag are more than we can manage right now.

If you’re able to help — even a small amount or a share — it truly means the world. You’ve already done so much, and I can’t say enough how grateful we are.

Thank you for your kindness, your love, and your prayers. You’ve helped us keep faith through so many storms.

With love,

Lynne, Twinnion, and all our rescue babies
