Bruce and Kate need help coming home

Donation protected
Hi. After 7 years in Sweden I think it is time to come home. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, depression and anxiety. Although I have some very nice friends here, I think I need to be places where I have access to longtime friends and family and get more assistance.

I had been saving up to come home but in June Bruce had a string of illnesses that wiped out my bank account. He caught kennel cough, then pneumonia and needed chest x-rays and oxygen treatment, then he took a turn for the worse and was very sick with sepsis and then he starting having seizures. After really good insurance it was still over 20000 kr (over 2000 USD).

None of this was expected obviously, and without a job for the last few months and with no prospects on the horizon (you cannot work without having a visa connected to employment), we are sort of just....well...stuck here, and broke. Feeling quite alone. My brother suggested giving Bruce up but honestly, he is the reason I get out of bed and leave the house and is my emotional support. I do not know what I would do without him.

Any size donation would be greatly appreciated. I would like to ask for 20USD or 200SEK, but if want to give more that would obviously be appreciated. At the moment we are in need of some basics but also we need to get ourselves flights back to the States, a vet visit to prepare him and pet carrier for Bruce and to be able to manage the costs of transport to the airport and costs of travel. I am currently trying to sell all of my belongings to help as well.

I hate asking for help and know that I have had to do so multiple times over the years. Thank you in advance.
