Dear Friends from around the World - I Need Your Help

I am officially at risk of losing my dogs. I need help in order to keep my family and Wolfpack together so we can relocate to Jacksonville, Florida. Between Covid and the unprecedented egregious housing market here in South Florida, we have been destroyed financially. We lost our home in March of 2021 due to falling behind on the mortgage during the Covid meltdown. And now the rental market is chasing us out of South Florida. I have been working extremely hard in the insurance business just to keep us afloat. But, if I don't get us up North into a less expensive life, I'm seriously at risk of losing my pack.

I launched a GoFundMe campaign in November of 2022 to help accomplish this mission. I am running it again for the 2nd and Last time as our total goal is $15000 to make this happen. Six of my seven dogs I personally rescued off the streets over the years. I don't want to give them up or put them at risk of ending up back in the street. You can see all of them on the campaign page itself. Once on the campaign page, simply go to the "Updates" section and scroll down to see the posts. From there, you can click "show more" to view even more posts of the wolfpack and myself. The expenses will go towards maintaining the pack, moving and securitizing an affordable house to rent.

We have been on a month-to-month lease since the middle of March. Sadly, on April 12th, our house was completely flooded by that 25 inch rainstorm in Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding areas that you all saw in the news. We have to leave very soon. I have dedicated my life to animal rescue. Now, it's my pack that needs help.

No donation is too small. I know many people would say just get an apartment with your family and give up the dogs. I'm not going to do that as my Wolfpack is my family. I will sink or swim with them at this point. I will Not abandon them. They grew up on my "Everybody Loves Sammy" online community as many of you know. They're also a big part of why I created our current website, DriveWithCompassion(dot)com, back in January of 2018 in Puerto Rico.

If anyone would like to contact me personally, my contact information is at the bottom of the email that you brought you over here. I'm looking to raise whatever funds I can from my network worldwide. No donation is too small. I ask that whether you donate or not, please share this campaign both near and far. I'm trying to keep my family and pack together. I don't want to lose my dogs and all the rescue work that I've done to keep us together thus far.


Sincerely,

Scott Smith, Sammy and Patrick's human Dad, and General to the greatest wolfpack in the history of the world.
