**Help Me Bring Noel Home: A Fresh Start with My Loyal Companion**

Life has taken me on a journey of loss, challenges, and resilience. This past November, I lost my husband, Kelly. Many of you met him, and since then, I’ve been trying to rebuild to find my footing in a new chapter of my life. However, this hasn’t been easy. Living with multiple sclerosis makes working impossible for me, adding to the difficulties of starting over.

Now, life is leading me back to Colombia, the country I came from—the place where I hope to find stability and healing. But as I prepare for this transition, one thing is clear: I cannot leave behind my beloved cat, Noel. He has been my constant companion for more than 12 years, my source of comfort through the darkest times. He is family.

The cost of transporting Noel to Colombia, including permits, tickets, and necessary expenses, is $1,800—an amount that is beyond my means right now. I am reaching out for help because I cannot imagine beginning this new chapter without him by my side.

Any contribution, big or small, will bring us one step closer to staying together. Sharing this story would mean the world to me if you cannot donate. Thank you for your kindness, support, and understanding of Noel's meaning to me.

With gratitude,

Sandra Coymat
