My dog and I are currently living in my car, doing our best to get by each day. I’m almost out of food for him, and I’m about to lose my phone service, which means I’ll lose access to my college classes and the support I need. I recently enrolled to return to college after many years away, hoping to build a better future for both of us. But without a phone, I won’t have a reliable way to connect to my classes or stay in touch with the people trying to help me.

Right now, my biggest priorities are making sure my dog has enough to eat and keeping my phone service active. I’ve already reached out to local homeless assistance programs to help me find housing, and having a working phone is the only way I can stay in contact with them and my school. Every little bit helps, and your support would make a huge difference for us as we work toward stability.

I never thought I’d be in this position, and honestly, it’s embarrassing to ask for help. If you’re not able to donate, any advice, suggestions, or referrals to services for people in my situation would mean the world to me. Thank you so much for reading our story and caring about what happens to us.
