companion yorkie puppy, to help me

Donation protected
Hello,
My name is Lisa Turner.  I am a single mom who is 37 yrs old.  I am disasabled, and trying afford a companion animal.  I have found someone to work with me to train my puppy, in which I get to help as much as possible.  I have a movenent disorder called psychogenic distonia with pseudo seizures.  This makes make twitch, fall, and have fake seizures which can go for hours and look like a bad version ofthe exercist.  I also have fibromyalgia which makes my muscles ache all the time and severe Psoriatic Arthritis which makes every joint I have feel as if its broken along with neuropathy in my feet which are numb but sting , burn, and  feel like I'm being stabbed,  This also makes my legs give out again, and which I now half the time have to use a walker The medicine so far has put me in the hospital 6 times in 8 months with severe pnuemonia, and most recently my kidneys tried to stop working.  On top of this I'm bipolar, major depression, bad anxiety, and PTSD.

So I feel I need a companion as I'm not able to get out and make friends, nor can I drive anywhere, so I feel I need something little, a teacup yorkie, thats fun and playful but mild mannered, to love and love me.  There have been studies done, that having such an animal helps all of the psycological disorders and helps even dull pain. My  disability pays me 600 a month which barely  covers my living costs, and since my move I didn't get any money at all this month of July.

The money covers the puppy, help with training, buying supplies, and it's next set of shots.  I just moved to Utah in may so this will be the best friend I'll have.  To get such a wonderful gift will mean the world to me.  I need the funds as soon as I can get them as the puppy in the picture is named Sidney, and is the puppy I'd really like to get.   She is 8 weeks old.  

I have looked all over for other financial aid but this is all I could really find,  I thought if maybe all of my online friends gave up to 5 dollars then I'd be able to get my puppy very quickly.

I hope you can find it in your hearts to pay it forward and help me with my dream,  Thank you for reading all of this.
