Story

I recently lost my job and was diagnosed with severe bipolar and manic disorders. I’m doing my best to stay stable—taking my medication, attending appointments, and job hunting—but financially, I’m overwhelmed.

I’m behind on rent, bills, and medication costs, and trying to hold on to one of the few things that brings both me and my dog some peace: her daycare. She’s a big, active dog who’s been going since she was a puppy. It’s where she gets exercise, structure, and joy. We’ve already cut it down to just a few days a week, but taking it away completely would be heartbreaking—for her and for me.

Right now, I need around $4,000 to get caught up on everything and stay afloat while I work toward stability. If you’re able to help in any way, I’d be deeply grateful. Every dollar makes a difference.

Thank you so much for reading this and for any support you can give.
