My baby Blue is sick, please help!
Donation protected
Hey everyone! To anyone who knows me, my dog is my entire life. Blue (Beluga) is a two-year-old blue heeler border collie mix and was my birthday gift two years ago. I remember picking her up from the farm and immediately falling in love with the tiny soft potato she was. I did not know I could love this deeply until I held her. Since then, she has had part of my heart intertwined with hers and hers with mine.
I miss my erratic, energetic and overwhelmingly annoying pup and will do anything I can to get her better. She has recently fallen ill, and the doctors are clueless as to what is happening to her. It has been one expensive test after the other, and it doesn't look like there is an end in sight at this point.
I struggle with mental health issues such as depression, and she has been my support dog through some pretty dark times. She calms me when my anxiety is so bad it feels as if multiple earthquakes are trembling at my core. She will get me out of bed when I don't feel like facing the world.
I am also a student right now (she was present at every one of my online classes, so she is too), and anyone who has been a student knows that life becomes unbearably expensive without the layers of other financial burdens. I'm working two days a week which has been enough up until now. I am selling my handmade collage works on instagram (@wonderfullywasted) as well as some other possessions to ensure I do not have to miss the Fall semester. My goal is to get into government (policy) to fight the system from within and teach inclusivity & sensitivity, AKA combat racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and overall any form of discrimination. I need Blue to keep me grounded and focused. If you are able to contribute to my cause, please donate. If you are financially unable to, please share. Thank you for reading this.
