Help Ty go home

Hi there, my name is Valerie O'Connor; I adopted Ty over 1.5 years ago, and we have bonded for life. He's my best friend and partner in crime; we've helped each other overcome our fears and have always been there for each other during tough times.

Unfortunately, due to the tough job market here in Australia (especially for a foreigner and during covid), I have decided that Ty and I will move back/to the United States to be close to the family I haven't seen in three years.

There are many opportunities for me to work where I grew up and know that I could give a better life for Ty there than I can here.

Lastly, the expense for international pet travel has increased dramatically due to covid, and there are now only two airlines that will take him from Brisbane to Chicago. The cost is $6200AUD in total. Therefore, I'm looking for help to reach about $1000-2000AUD to cover expenses. Even a little bit will go a long way.

Much love, kindness and appreciation for you all. <3

Valerie
