Raising money for pet-related expenses. This is our story.
paypal.me/Stephaniesdogs I am asking for ANYTHING to help me go home. Please allow me to introduce myself and who I am. I am a 67 year old female, 5’2” and 130#. I have met with all manner of diversity in my life and always managed to over come and reach to a place of inner peace and contentment. I do not do drugs. I do not drink. I welcome those who come to me or are placed in my path of life, to show them the way to healing. I am full of love and recognize the healing power of love. I am an adamant animal rescuer. That means I get the ones that are be-draggled, sickly and deemed vicious by those less understanding. I peel them up off the street and do what is necessary to heal them as well. I may not be able to keep them after they are re-trained and healthy, but I get them to a good, forever home.
My current hardship began with a maligned stalker. He threw anticoagulent rat poison over my fence. I had 7 well cared for dogs that I pulled out of the dirt or off the street and brought them to health and spoiled rotten. The first one died and 2 vets did not know what was wrong with him. I watched him bleed out internally and it was horrific. I had no idea it was poison. Six months later, the 2nd one got sick and was misdiagnosed. I watched her bleed out internally and die and it was gut wrenching. These are my service dogs, trained and prescribed by my doctor. I have serious back issues, they perform functions to help me. I have depression. They keep me from becoming so depressed, I don't commit suicide. These losses hit me hard. I found empty plastic meat chub wrappers in my back yard when I cleaned it. Then my dogs began getting sick. I had 5 left. Only one escaped this poisoning. The one that doesn't eat things out of the yard got sick when she brought me prescription meds out of the yard. I took them to the vet. The vet gave them inappropriate doses of the life saving medication, Vitamin K1 and inappropriate doses of Metronidazole. This caused them to keep relapsing as a result. There were no new poisonings because I cleaned the yard regularly and went outside with them to stop them from eating anything out of the yard. When their noses went down to the ground I stopped them from even sniffing. I had already lost my job. I have social security income. The vet cost me $3,750. I filed a veterinary board complaint on her. I filed a police report on the stalker. This was all the money I had and was my moving money as my house is loaded with mold and lead poisoning. I filed codes complaints on my landlord. This house is dangerous and untenable. I am moving now, I will be homeless in my car but back in my home town. I can't make the commute from Topeka to KCMO in my 20 year old Envoy. Therefore, I will arrive homeless. No one I know, that is left after Covid and illnesses, can take me in with my dogs. I will not let my dogs go. I am not emotionally capable of taking them to the pound. I would rather die with them. I committed to them when I rescued them. I meant it. It is not my fault that I am in this mess. I am pleading with anyone to please donate even a dollar. I need help desperately. I will get my next social security check in a week, I will be moving on 9-25-24. paypal.me/Stephanies dogs
