MPlease Help: Fight to Stay Upright

T Mimi McKinney is organizing this fundraiser.

Hello, beautiful souls. I am in a long process of recovery- and I am determined to succeed. I am asking for your support in one of my hardest times.

I've had multiple back and neck surgeries over the past few years in an attempt to help me walk and stand upright. Because of the physical pain, I had to give up my successful dog sitting business Expetations in DC. My whole life- where I live, my ability to support myself- has changed massively because of all the surgeries and chronic pain.

And I need your help. For real.

I moved home to LA, where I had yet another surgery. I've had no income for months and it has really taken it's toll. Your contribution will help me keep my car, afford physical therapy, and stabilize my health while I find a new source of income.

My goal is to get back to normal function; walking, standing and sitting without pain. I think I maybe strong enough to stand up straight, but never run or jump again. But I know getting better is possible.

I am trying to get back on my own 2 feet. Restart my business. Walk with pups side by side. Train people and families to take control of their household and walk, run, skate, bike, learn proper dog loving behavior.

I'm struggling, but I'm surviving. And with you, I can get back on my own two feet.

I found a note Princess Mckinneys view of me. It breaks my heart, and because of her sadness, I tend to regress. A dark cloud comes with
With no climate control.
