Samantha's ESA Dog
Donation protected
Hey, everyone! I hope I can capture just a small amount of your time.
I am in the process of obtaining an ESA dog (Emotional Support Animal) to help me through my everyday struggle. If you want a little background...
I was diagnosed with 5 different types of anxiety disorders PTSD, OCD, Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, and Panic Disorder. I was also diagnosed with Bipolar I mid through high school. I have started the process of finding an ESA animal that will help me through my daily struggles. This is so important to me, but I lack the funds to get this done. For those who don't know, anxiety is like a huge weight that sits on my chest and negatively affects my ability to live a "normal" life. Anxiety affects every single aspect of my life. When you throw in bipolar, you get this huge mess that I battle. I don't want to sound like I am telling everyone this sob story of my life, I simply am trying to stress the importance of getting this ESA dog is for me. To avoid being on over 1500mgs of medication a day, I have found that being around dogs or having my own dog is the best alternative. My own dog would be able to provide me with the everyday emotional and physical support that I desperately need to control my moods and anxieties. Dogs ground me. They bring me back to reality. That is why I have centered my life around taking care of other people's dog and it is finally time for me to try to get my own companion :)
I am a full-time student at UWL and working two jobs, money is such a struggle for me. When I was 18, I moved out of my parent's house and I have been 100% financially on my own with everything since then. This is difficult do with paying for my education as well as the multiple medical bills I have. I recently had my identity stolen and this dug me deep into the wormhole of debt. I have been trying to dig myself out of it since.
That being said, any amount of help would be so greatly appreciated. This is so important to me and my mental health. I have been trying so hard to accomplish this. Any amount and any way of assistance from anyone would be so amazing. I can't even begin to express how grateful I would be for your generosity. I am trying to accomplish this by the end of this month if not by the end September.
Thank you for your time, everyone!!
