Struggling to Survive: Gage Needs Your Help
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Missael, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart. My dog Gage isn’t just a pet—she’s my family, my emotional support, and the only thing I have left during the hardest time of my life.
In the past few months, everything has fallen apart. I lost my job. Then my car. Then my home. I’ve been doing everything I can just to survive day to day—but through it all, Gage has been by my side. She’s the only soul who’s never left me, no matter how dark it’s gotten.
Now she’s the one who needs help—and I’m terrified I can’t save her.
Gage has become severely ill. She’s constantly coughing, struggling to breathe, and throwing up. Watching her suffer and not being able to afford proper care is breaking me in ways I can’t explain. I sit next to her every night praying she makes it through to the morning. I feel helpless… because I am.
I’ve sold everything I could. I’ve asked for help where I can. But vet bills are high, and I’m at rock bottom—financially, emotionally, and mentally.
I don’t care about the job. I don’t care about the car. I don’t care about what I’ve lost.
But I can’t lose Gage.
Please, if you can find it in your heart to help us, I’m begging for any support you can give. Every donation, every share, every prayer—it means the world to us right now.
Thank you for reading.
