Hello,

Many of you know my very sweet, goofy but majestic dog named Jake - If you know him, you know how cool he is, and what a big part of my life he is.

A couple days ago Jake was bit by a rattle snake in El Dorado State Park - Luckily, we heard the rattle snake, and rushed him to the ER. He spent about 24 hours there, received anti-venin and his bill was over $3,100.

I had to carry him like a baby out of the park:

Christoph carried him like a sacrificial lamb:

Then we carried him together.

As many of you know, I moved to Boulder in April 2021 to work with a movement community.

In early April, I was victim of crazy financial scam and lost a lot of money. We still made the move to Boulder because it felt right (for both Jake and myself).

A friend suggested I make this Go Fund Me to help stay on my feet in my more resolute move to Boulder, as I plan to stay here the next year (Jake Agrees and absolutely loves it here). The truth is, I will take all the help I can get.

Anything you can give will help- we both will be very grateful. He is well on his way to being fully recovered :)

Here are some more pictures of this really amazing dog, who has been my best friend for over a decade!
