My name is Katrina. My 6 1/2 month old Shih Tzu Maltese, Maxxie, is my whole world. She’s just a baby and doesn’t understand why we lost our home.

Right now we’re sleeping on a friend’s floor with no lights. I can barely eat or sleep, and I blame myself every day. The hardest part: on Sunday, we have to leave because the van owner is coming back. We’ll have nowhere to go.

I’ve been having nervous breakdowns trying to handle this, but I’m trying not to fall apart because Maxxie needs me. She’s too little to be on the street. She just wants to play and cuddle like every puppy should.

I’m raising $ for:

• Emergency motel so Maxxie and I are safe after Sunday 300

• Puppy food, flea meds, and a vet checkup

• Deposit/help toward stable housing

Even $5 helps us get one more night safe. If you can’t give, please share. Maxxie depends on me, and I’m terrified of failing her.

Thank you for seeing us. We’re not giving up.
