Hello everyone. My name is Noël. Recently, life has thrown trial after trial at me and my small family, Mimi and Jake. We recently came out of a domestic abusive relationship and household, leaving my whole life behind to start over. On the last day of that journey, my dogs Mimi and Jake were involved and hurt while I was at work. I came home to find all my things thrown into my dining room, including my dogs. I found them in a kennel that was beaten in, covered in blood, and their blankies were bled through. I called the police out for fear for our lives. Jake has since healed from the accident with much love and care. Mimi didn’t show any signs of external problems but has since been suffering—screaming and whining when she walks or moves her back or legs, staring into my soul asking for help. Leaving me feeling helpless that I can’t do anything. She already has to have surgery on her back legs and has arthritis. She is 6 years old. She went to the vet and now has spinal issues after the accident and is in need of surgery.

And I am now left alone to clean up this mess. I want to blame myself but I know all I’ve ever tried to do was love everyone with my whole heart. Mimi has been my baby girl and my best friend since she was 4 weeks old. I got her when I was 17 and she helped take care of my mother who had terminal cancer from summer 2021-Feb 2022 when she passed away, leaving us on this journey called life together. She was a grandma’s baby and has already suffered enough and doesn’t deserve this—from losing her Grandma to watching me mourn over my mother. Mimi is support certified so we go everywhere and do everything together. I am currently working but I am not able to pay this bill for her. I was taught to never ask for much, be strong, and to make it work regardless of the circumstances. But I will do anything… ANYTHING to save Mimi and keep her here with me. She’s my best friend, my bean, my baby girl. She and Jake are the only family I have other than my grandparents who cannot help me due to their own circumstances at the time. Mom and dad are not here to fall back on when times get rough anymore and I am truly leaning on Jesus and trusting him and that he will get us to where we are supposed to be… wherever that is… but I have to have Mimi on this journey. I cannot live without her. I need her here with me as long as possible. She is my heart.

Please consider donating to Mimi. She’s a true angel and a gift from the Lord and touches everyone she meets! She is my little star. This is our last option. Thank you so much. Love, Noël
