This is hard for me to type and even harder for me to over come my pride to ask for this kind of help. It's easy to say "I would never do this" until your pinned against a wall. But this situation is one that doesn't only affect me but affects my father and my pets. As many of you know last year was the hardest year for me. My father became very ill and almost passed away. He spent 2 weeks in ICU and the hospital where they uncovered multiple problems with his health. I'm the only family he has in California and he's the only family I have here. All our family is in the south so it pushed a lot of responsibility onto me. One year later he is still dealing with these problems and trying to figure out why some of his health issues are going on. This has left us with lots of bills, lots of time off work, lots of stress and our credit has been suffering. Thankfully he is able to go back to work but its very painful for him to work and most days he has to call out for procedures or because the pain is to intense for him. I work part time at a petstore where I am training to better myself for a better career path with animals. However my hours are very low and if I'm lucky I make 120 a week. My weekend job hasn't been doing well at all either and thats taking a huge toll on my funds as well. Dad thankfully has a full time job but it's barley over minimum wage so all his pay goes to our current house we rent. We struggle each month but some how manage to scrape by. We have lived in our home for 25 years. I grew up here in this house and has known no other home than this one. My landlord was like a grandmother to me. She was very sweet and patient with us, especially when my father was ill. Sadly in November 2016 she lost her life to battle with lung cancer. It was devastating to my father and I not only because someone close to us was gone but this also meant that we were unsure what our housing situation would be. We started to save up just incase which was hard especially with Christmas being in December but we were slowly putting money aside. However my dads car acted up and needed repairs and that costed us over 1,000 dollars using all of our cushion money for the possible move. Late January 2017 we met our new landlords and they let us know that we must leave our house by March 20th. They couldn't care less how long we been here. It wasn't anything we did, they just wish to fix up the house and make more money. This broke my heart. The house I grew up in was going to be taken away. I was loosing my home. I immediately started to pack and look for places to live, but its been hard. I have pets. I have a German Shepard named Bella who was a rescue, a cat named Canterburry who was a stray, two Betta fish from my store, and a gueina pig I adopted who was very ill with a URI. Having pets especially a large dog makes finding a place to live almost impossible. I need to have my pets I can not get rid of them. I have sever anxiety especially when home alone, (Which I am lot) and for depression. My dog makes me feel safe. I have had my house broken into twice and it scares me to not have her. My pets keep my mentality in check. They give me stuff to do to help keep my bad thoughts at bay and give me companionship. Giving them up isn't an option. Thankfully I found a house and as luck would have it its 2 minutes away from where I live! I would still be in the area I love! The yard was big and gated for my dog and the house was nice and roomy for my dad and I to live in. However we can only afford 1,500 for rent. The house is 1,890 a month and everything to move in and secure the house (If we pass and are able to move in) is totaled to 4,000. We cant afford this plus our rent for this month. Everywhere I have looked including apartments it seems this is roughly around the same price which is hard because we can not afford this sudden move. Dad's health is declining with this stress and his heart is very weak. I worry he will end up back in the hospital with this amount of stress. So, I'm asking for help. I'm asking for donations, for extra work, for anything I can do to help my dad, to make sure my family isn't separated or on the street. If you are able to donate I promise I will at least send you a thank you card or a personal skype call to thank you. I will be looking for other work while trying to raise here too. Every dollar helps, every share helps! Thank you so much!

I'm a costumer who dresses up as Princess characters for children parties, and who goes to Rady's children hospital to help cheer up children. I go to fundraisers to help raise money for sick children who need a little light in their lives. I'm a blood donor for life! I'm a bone marrow donor for life! and a organ donor. I feel if I am healthy enough I can help others who are ill. During the week days I work at petsmart as a petcare specialist.

I also help with adoptions for these little animals personally adopting out over 50 animals (Cats, dogs, fish, birds, reptiles, and hamsters) last year! All year around I am also a professional Elvira impersonator performing at many events from La, to San Diego and as far as Arizona and Washington!
