Help Zay Rebuild Life and Animal Rescue

Donation protected
My name is Zay, and I am reaching out to you today with a plea for help to get back on my feet after a series of devastating events that cost me my home, my beloved animal rescue business, and nearly my life.

For years, my passion has been my animal rescue business. It was my purpose—a place where I could give a second chance to animals in need. But recently, my entire world was turned upside down. I lost everything I had worked for and, in the process, faced a personal crisis that brought me to my lowest point. I truly believe that if it weren't for the unconditional love of my dogs, I would not be here today.

This all happened as a result of a toxic relationship that left me used and abandoned. My ex-girlfriend took everything from me—my home, the business I built, and the sense of security I had. I was left with nothing, and the emotional and financial toll has been immense.

Currently, I'm staying in a hotel, paying $600 a month just to have a roof over my head. This expense is crippling, and it prevents me from saving for a more stable living situation. I work every single day, doing whatever I can—driving for Uber and DoorDash—just to survive. Even with my own health struggles, including diabetes and early-stage kidney issues, I am committed to fighting for my future.

I'm not asking for a handout, but a hand up. The first step to rebuilding my life is securing a stable place to live. I'm seeking to raise **$4,500** to cover the security deposit and first month's rent for a new apartment. Escaping the endless cycle of hotel payments will allow me to start rebuilding my life and, most importantly, begin the process of getting my animal rescue business back on its feet.

My goal is to recreate the safe haven for animals that I once had. Your support, no matter how small, will make a monumental difference. It will give me the stability I need to heal, to work towards a healthier life, and to resume my true calling—saving animals.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story. Any help is truly appreciated, and I will be forever grateful.

With gratitude,
Zay
