UPDATE: Sending out another plea for donations as I still am not able to work & cannot keep up with the bare minimum. I am behind 1000 for May & June is almost here. Car insurance, dental work, utilities,creditors, vet bills, toiletries, etc. I am still working on health issues, which is a very slow & frustrating process. Can you kindly share my account if you cannot donate. I also am selling off much of my crystal collection so if you are looking for something special let me know. Thank you!

Presently I am forced to reach out for financial aid. Not a comfortable position to be in. I have been in the work force for 55 years but for the past 2 years I have been unable to work due to ongoing health issues and physical conditions. They have greatly affected my ability to obtain employment and support myself. Every day is a challenge, and the uncertainty of my health has made it impossible to plan for the future or return to work as I once hoped.

In 2023, covid and the economy forced me to close my metaphysical shop after only 9 years... THAT was my lifelong passion. Because of these health issues and the loss of my shop, my financial situation is increasingly difficult. Social security provides only half of what I need to cover basic living expenses. I have long-awaited dental work that is significant and urgent, and caring for my home and pets are priorities that I struggle to meet. Another urgency is vet care for my 2 senior cats Over the past two years, I’ve accumulated credit card debt simply to get by, and the stress of these financial burdens adds to the challenges I already face.

I understand that most of us are under financial stresses and would never expect those in need to help. But sharing my situation would be helpful. I will continue to make and sell my handmade gem jewelry as I physically can. You can find my work on my FB page 'The Pet Healer' or website. My goal is to go back to my gem work and also return to Energy Work/Reiki for pets as that has been my passion for decades. Any support—whether through sharing my story or contributing—would mean the world to me. Thank you for taking the time to read and consider helping.
