Hi, My name is Cynthia. I am almost 76 and living on a fixed pension plus a little extra from a live-in tenant. I have chronic Lyme disease, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue so haven't held a regular job for over 20 years. The pandemic has taken a toll mentally and financially. This year I had several sizable emergency expenses that set me way back. Suddenly my dear cat Riley developed kidney failure, diabetes, and pancreatitis. The vet bills have already exceeded 2000, and the food has been getting quite expensive too. All this is debt right now. I do not want to cut back on the medicinal herbs, supplements and foods that have been maintaining my own health. Riley needs more fluids, glucose monitoring and medicines and I have had to cut back on therapy that I really need too so I am reaching out with hope in my heart that people like yourself will help out. Please help me keep Riley and me afloat so I don't have to sell my house.
