Fighting for My Life & Longing for My Service Dog
My Story
I never thought I would be here fighting for my life in a hospital bed, alone, hooked up to wires and tubes, praying I’ll get the chance to go home again
What started as a small infection spiraled out of control. Within days, my body was in full sepsis. My blood was poisoned. My lungs collapsed under severe pneumonia. Doctors told me the truth no one ever wants to hear: “You might not make it.”
Every single day has been a battle to stay alive. The pain, the fear, the exhaustion… it’s unbearable. But the hardest part isn’t the sickness
The hardest part is being separated from the one soul who keeps me alive inside my service dog.
My Lifeline
My service dog isn’t “just a pet.” He’s my anchor. My lifeline. He’s trained to help me manage PTSD, anxiety, and depression
On my darkest days, he’s the reason I can stand up. The reason I can face the world. The reason I’m still here
And now… he doesn’t understand why I’m gone. He’s waiting for me, confused, wondering if I abandoned him. The thought of him lying there, waiting at the door, breaks me more than the tubes in my chest ever could
Our Bond
Before this nightmare, we did everything together. He gave me freedom, independence, and hope
Why I Need to Heal
This fight has drained everything from me. The endless hospital stays, the treatments, the medications… the bills are crushing. And the longer I’m here, the longer I’m separated from the one who gives me the will to keep going
I hate asking for help. But right now, I have no choice. I’m broken physically, emotionally, and financially
Your support will help me
* Cover the overwhelming costs of my medical care
* Heal safely and recover when I finally leave the hospital
* Reunite me with my service dog, my anchor, my reason for living
