Story
In the Autumn of last year I chose to take a place at a Woman's Refuge. The decision to leave behind loved ones was immense, yet it was the best choice at that time. I was not able to bring Merlin with me, due to a 'no pets' policy. After 12 years together it was hard to leave him, yet fortunately a friend was able to give Merlin a home, where he's been content and she's loved being a Foster Mum.
I'm now living in a house opposite the Refuge, where Merlin can join me and make it a home. Research in to travel options has taken me some time, as it's not straightforward, involving various forms of transport. The first quote I received was for a shocking £1,500 and I've been determined to find a solution that is more achievable. I'm happy to say that I've worked out a way that he can travel here for about £700.
I am appealing to you for assistance to help me make this possible. I'm not yet ready to be working, so even though I live a simple life, managing the whole amount is not currently an option for me.
Merlin is the one member of my family who can remain so, without complication. The only hurdle to overcome is the matter of the great journey. And its cost. This means the world to me, the thought of being reunited with him.
Thank you for taking the time to read this plea for aid that comes from my heart. If you are able to contribute in any little way, then I thank you with all of the gratitude that I feel for every kind deed that comes my way.

5 years agoThanks to such kind support, I'm going to be able to think about placing a booking for Merlin's journey. Plans are being made so that he has all he'll need to make him as comfortable as possible. And I simply can't wait to have him with me again! My heart lifts when I think of It!
