<div>HERE IS MY STORY.....
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello my name is Samson Don Monique Pedroza. I am trying to raise money to make up for the last 5 years of heartbreak and endless financial obstacles/expenses. Now that my 3 dogs have passed away at the end of 2025, now that my grandma passed away, now that i just recently paid off my 8 parking tickets, and now that my trucks transmission failed and my truck finally got repossessed. I feel my small business is in shambles due to SEVERE depression and financial setbacks. I really want to restart my life and I feel like a gofund me is my last attempt and option to help me after going through the hardest year of my life. I am EXHAUSTED AND SO EMPTY WITHOUT MY FUR BABIES I CANNOT FUNCTION OR THINK. I AM SO HEARTBROKEN AND BEYOND EMPTY.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Im stuck in a major pickle right now. I just had two of my chihuahuas pass away in October 2025. LOZEN AND BRUNO DIED of old age only 2 DAYS APART :(. 10/19/2025 and 10/21/2025. And sadly On 12/13/2025 my Catahoula Leopard dog Morrissey developed a sickness and passed away at 9. 5 years old . I am completely broken and empty inside because I had him since he was 2 months old. I have lost alot of friends and family in my life but losing all 3 dogs really hurts the most and has set me back mentally, physically and financially. I am very exhausted and down on my luck and now im on go fund me asking for support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am a stay at home artist. I have been for many years and was making very good money until life has sent me so many obstacles and challenges. I am also a care taker for my grandpa because Hes getting of age and has had some recent accidents wheres hes fainted and fallen a few times so I stay home to monitor him while my mom my uncle and sister go to work. I also took care of all the dogs while they are away including my sisters dog and my mom's dog. I do alot of cleaning as well as help my grandpa with all the technological things as he struggles to keep up with the times.
</div>
<div>I am also raising money to help him too because he is always helping me while I grew up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have relocated from San Diego to Chino, San Diego to New Mexico, back to San Diego then back to Chino back to San Diego back to New Mexico and now I am back in Chino, California. I have had such an exhausting journey . And have moved so many times that I have fallen behind and I cannot keep up with the cost of living and running a small business and taking care of my dogs and have the time to chase my dreams as well. I just want to make the world a better place.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My dogs really saved my life. They will always be my heroes. They got me to stop drinking beer and alcohol, got me to stop smoking mj, and now they got me to quit gambling. I am becoming a new person and this is the hardest chapter of my life now that they are all gone. They lived long enough to watch me change and help me learn so much about myself. I made a promise to my dogs on their death beds that I was going to make them proud and become a better man. I just want to make them proud.
</div>
<div>If I can raise enough money to move back to San Diego that would be amazing. I spent 25 years growing up there and its been 5 years since I left. I miss it so much . I feel sick to my stomach knowing I have lost everything . I NEED SO MUCH HELP
