Hello, my name is Tina, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart for help. Over the past year, my health has severely impacted my ability to care for my daughter, our puppy, and myself. I’ve been battling multiple health issues, the most recent being four surgeries in just over two months. While I’ve managed to cover our basic needs up until now, the physical and financial strain from these surgeries has become overwhelming.

The latest surgery didn’t go as expected, and the added expenses have pushed us to the brink. To make matters worse, we had to board our puppy during my recovery, as we don’t have family nearby to help. Unfortunately, since then, our puppy has fallen ill, showing signs of severe vomiting, including blood. The vet suspects gastritis, and we’re doing everything we can to help her recover, but the uncertainty and her condition are adding to my stress.

As a mother, it’s incredibly hard to see my child and our puppy suffering while I struggle with my own health. My heart disease makes it especially difficult for me to get the rest I need to heal. I’m trying my best to stay strong, but the worry about our puppy’s health, combined with the financial burden of mounting bills, is taking a toll on me.

I’m also a recent college graduate, having earned my degree at 53 years old. While this should be a moment of pride, my health has kept me from finding work, and I feel a deep sense of frustration and guilt over not being able to contribute as I’d hoped.

I’m humbly asking for any support you can provide to help cover our bills and ease the stress during this challenging time. Your donation will go directly toward helping us keep up with medical expenses, daily necessities, and to give us the chance to recover and get back on our feet.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Any help, no matter how small, is deeply appreciated.

With gratitude,

Tina, Sierra and Uma
