Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far. I couldn't have done this without you.  But it's not over yet.
I still need to finish moving and survive without a paycheck until I get started in my new job.

My name is Mandy, and my dogs, Sam and Roscoe, mean everything to me.

I've recently found myself in a desperate position. My rental place was sold and now I need to move. Here in British Columbia, there is a housing crisis. Availability of rental homes is nearly zero. It's next to impossible to find a rental where I live, for any price. Add the fact that I have dogs, one of them large, and my chances go into negative numbers. I face the possibility of becoming homeless, likely in the middle of winter, if I don't act now and secure a new home where my dogs are welcome. Rehoming my dogs is not an option. I won't even consider it. My dogs are like my children; where I go, they go. Anyone who has ever rented with pets knows the struggle I am facing.

Fortunately, I have found an ideal place in the country, where my dogs will have plenty of space to run and play. The rent is reasonable, and I cannot let this opportunity slip away. The problem is, our new home is in a different town. It's a huge move; it means walking away from the stable job I have here, making a long distance move, and starting fresh in another town. I have already lined up a new job, but it doesn't start until mid-October, which means I need to survive the month of October after moving and somehow pay my regular bills as well as hookup fees.

I just need to get there somehow. I've done the math and there's no way I will earn the amount I need to pull off this move between now and October 1, but it has to be done... somehow. Desperation is setting in.

We will be fine once we get settled and I start my new job, but the transition in between is going to be a struggle. There will be a gap between paydays while I am between jobs. I have a responsibility to provide my dogs with the best life possible and I will stop at nothing to live up to that responsibility, even if it means asking for help.

I need help with moving costs and general expenses to survive until I get paid from my new job. The breakdown is as follows:

Security Deposit: $750 - PAID!
Pet Deposit: $750 - PAID!
First Month's Rent: $1500 - PAID!
Moving van#1: $350 - PAID! First trip complete.

Yet to pay:
Moving van #2: $650 - RESERVED for September 27th
Gas for multiple trips: $1500
Food, bills and monthly expenses after move: $2500

Every little bit helps. If you are able to contribute even as little as five dollars, it will go toward the above expenses. I will update as expenses are covered. Sam and Roscoe thank you.
