Hi, my name is Tillie, and I’m raising funds for my friend Shannon and her beloved dog, Emmy.

Shannon recently had to leave a very unhealthy relationship, and in the process, she and Emmy became homeless. They’re currently in temporary accommodation, doing everything they can to stay safe and rebuild—but moving into stable, permanent housing comes with costs that are incredibly difficult to manage when you’re starting over with nothing.

On top of this, Shannon battles with her mental health. Emmy is her lifeline, her comfort, and the reason she keeps pushing forward. Being separated from Emmy is simply not an option.

Anyone who knows Shannon knows how hard it is for her to ask for or accept help, which is why I’ve created this fundraiser on her behalf. She isn’t expecting anything, but if you’re able to donate—even a small amount—it would make a huge difference in helping her and Emmy begin again.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and for any support you can offer.
