URGENT HELP PETS OF WRITER MANUEL ANTÓNIO PINA

Donation protected

My name is Ana Pina. I am the younger daughter of the Award Camóes winner writer and journalist Manuel António Pina, who after his death, in 2012, and my mother's death, in 2015, I took responsability, alone and against the will of the remaining surviving family members, for the animals with whom we lived and that me and my parents loved. When my parents died we had 104 cats and 2 dogs. These cats, that stood forever connected to my father's work, in the poems he wrote about them, in the photos that showed him with them, and in the documentary made about my father a year before he died, in 2011, when he was awarded with the Prémio Camóes award.
We had a FELV epidemy bettween 2015 and 2019 where the majoraty of the cats died. They were years of awful suffering and awful unpower ability to save them that still haunt me today. With such a giant number of cats, the veterinary bill reached values that forced me to sell my house, my parents house also (all my half of the price was used to pay veterinary bills) all the value things I had, including the document (certificate) from my father's award to raise funds that could help me providing for all these cats well being and survival and mine. I did it and keep doing it all for them. I spent over 50.000 € in veterinant care, at the time. I am unemployed and looking for a job but nobody hires me. My family abandoned me and they don't care and they just pretend I don't exist. They don't even call me to know if I am alive or if I have food for myself. I have fallen from a happy economical situation to a misery abyss. Still, I refuse to "get ride of them" to survive, as everyone pressures me to do. I have now 20 surviving cats in my house and 5 dogs, and more than 30 feral cats I take care, I am still unemployed and my only income to survive is the amount of half of my father's author rights, that not only aren't monthly paid and aren't enought for the expenses with the 20 surviving cats and dogs that live with me, in my rented house and feral cats I take care. We all are in need and suffering. The only help I have is food for me from a group of three old university teachers of mine, that bring me food and from a psychologist that is trying to help me to find strength to go on, and is doing it for free, because she cares. When I sold my car, I manage to buy a very old car that hardly works to be able to go feed the ferals, because some of them are 20 km away from my house. I have nothing and have been begging to everyone I know for help, money to buy food for my pets, to pay bills and gasoline. Before I sold my house I got into a lot of loans to pay for the giant veterinary bills and now I have those loans to pay, whose total amount in debt over 50.000 €. I have now a debt to the IRS that is over 2000 € When I sold my house, the only landlord that aceepted me with all these pets was one that had the old house, with space for all of these pets we now live in, and only making a rent to sell contract, with a 1000 € monthly rent. I haven't payed the rentfor 2 months now, and still can pay the next one. I spoke to him, he has been patient and good, because he understands my situation. My monthly expenses, only in loans and rent are over 2000 €. The monthly expenses with the cats (mine and feral) and dogs food and cat litter are over 1000 €. I have 1000 € in unpaid veterinary bills now, and also need money for regular veterinary care these pets need. I have my bank account with a large negative value now, banks and IRS annoying me, everyone pressuring me daily to leave the cats and dogs and save myself. But I won't do it, because they are innocent, they are the only loving family I have, and I act according to my beliefs on rescuing and defending the weak ones, as my parents always did, they used to help may people, and I also used to, when I worked and had a good economical situation, and still do, even in the misery I am living in. And supporting all of this, suffering all this violence and abandonment because of them. This year, in culture, was dedicated to my father's work, there were lots of things done and all my other relatives were contacted and I was simply ignored, as if I didn't existed. People don't understand I am living all of this and supporting all this because of cats and dogs. They call me crazy and a lost case with no hope. They don't have empathy or the sensitivity to understand that, besides all, if they didn't existed or were taken from me I would commit suicide. I am only here for them and will be here and keep on fighting for them. I am besides them, protecting them and drowned in this abyss and handling with all this for them. Because of their love for me and of my love for them. All for them. And I know my parents, wherever they are, are very proud of me for doing the right thing and not betraying my values and the ones I love and whose survival depends on me and I also know they are with me and trying to help to take care of us all. The value I put on this fund is merely indicative. I have reached a point so serious that I don't even have notion of how much I need. I need help, a strong and fast and big help fast. I need it yesterday and the day before and the week and the month before. I am desperated. Please help save my cats and save myself. I need much money fast for all of this, I need a job, I need to reborn and rebuild my life without betraying all these pets and it has to be right now.
I am also a writer and law graduated. I used to work as a substitute for the public prosecutor, almost became a judge, but they destroyed my career because of the pets I had (someone told them I had to be crazy, and I suspect - but have no way to prove it, that was a relative of mine, one of the ones that abandoned me after) because she was madly jealous and always making jokes like "ah, you behave like a true judge now". That relative that took all the value goods from my parent's house and send the garbage to mine, told it was her half, goods that included value paintings from artists like Paula Rego, Vieira da Silva, Jorge Rodrigues, Graça Morais, José Guimarãs, and sent to my house all the old forniture (old and half fotten, with cat urine (that is still the one I have in this house), so you can see how the half of the heritage was divided, while I was suffering and grieving for my mothers's death (that she hated) and was in no conditions of fighting for my rights. I am in this situation for helping others, for being and empath, for not betraying my values and the ones that need me to survive. And that is not for being mad. That is for being a decent, sensitive and caring person. I have also work in Child Protection Services. But I have also work was a waitress cleaning a school and watching on kids, and sometimes hearing rude things from teachers that had lower academic degrees than I did. I have humiliated myself in all possible ways already, to make our survival possible. I am brave, I have values and I don't quit. Once in the school the kids found I was my fathers' daughter and was a writer and even had a children's book in the National Reading Plan they were reading in classes and some of them came to me and shaked my hand and they looked at me strangely, not understanding why I was there cleaning. But I did it all for them. I know it's hard to understand for someone so young and for adults who drive their life by lack of empathy, self pleasure and self preservation, appearences and have no content or values at all. But it's the only option for me. Because they need me. It's all for them. As I told before, I am also a writer, who started with children books, but since my parents died I started writing a collection of extremely violent and explicit books, filled with sexual violence (I am a passionate reader and movie watcher of books and movies about phsycological personality disorders, serial killers and psychopaths and sex offenders). In law, my area were sex crimes. I won the second edition of the Teresa Rosmaninho Human Rights, Womens Rights, in 2014, with a interdisciplinary study I wrote about the rape crime, and also made my Master thesys in law about the same subject. So, as a writer, I have written a six extremely violent and sexual explicit books, filled with sexual violence, torture and murder, with a very tough language, written by the offender's perspective, that no one dares to publish. These are six novels called "The Game of Fear" (O Jogo do Medo), Rafael Emmanoel Mottrish Isoskov, The Death Room (A Sala da Morte), The Death Room II: Taxi Driver number 538 (A Sala da Morte II: Taxista n.º 538), The Death Room III: the return of the Monster (A Sala da Morte III: o regresso do Monstro) and Under the Storm (Sob a Tempestade), that no one publishes because of their violent and explicit nature and that I am absolutely sure they could be turned into amazing movies or into an amazing tv series (each season corresponding to each book). These books are vey important to my life and, in some of them, there are true events, described and of course mixed with fiction, because I had my share of experiences with pedophiles and sex offenders and psycopaths, without (only by luck) never becoming a victim of any crime. I am noq writing (well, started writing, but in the middle of this messed, the writing has been in pause for the last 2 years) the seventh book of this Dark Collection, that is called Gabriel Mikael Ivanovich Dimitriev. As I believe these novels would become excellent movies, I have written a big script for movie format, with about 120 pages, that has the story of the first big Chapter of the first "Dark Collection" Book, The Game of Fear, big chapter that is also called The Game of Fear (filled with technical errors, as I am a writer and not a scriptwriter). This giant script for movie format is extremely violent and extremely explicit (detailed scenes of murder, rape and torture) and could never be produced or directed here in Portugal, and much less done performed by Portuguese actors. It would have to be translated to English and produced out of Portugal even if the places where tha action happens would be in Portugal, in the city of Oporto and in the village of Penamacor. I also made the pilot episode for the first season in series format (and the series title would be The Dark Tales of Violence, and the first season title would be The Game of Fear). Also filled with technical errors and weitten in Portuguese. In this format I tryed to turn the most violent scenes less explicit, so it's somehow softer. This pilot episode I tried to translate it into English, but believe it, the translation is scary and need all to be corrected. I also have, for series format, a project detailed info (made has someone who is a writer and has no knowledge of how it is made) in English (again, a scary English translation). So, if anyone reads this and has contacts or feels personally interested on reading, producing, directing, bringing to life these projects, I would be deeply thankful for an option contract that could help me to rebuild my life. Because the stories are good and would become great movies and I love writing these novels. I talk about option, because these stories are so important to me, that I would want to be heard and somehow participate in the procedure. These novels are the most important thing I have written in my life. But, remember, I can't translate them or afford their translation and correction. I can't afford anything. I am desperately in need for help for my animals and my own survival. But if you have the chance or will on helping me also in this way, please contact me. My name is Ana Folhadela Figueiredo Pina, but my novels, scripts and works as a writer are signed Ana Folhadela. I also have lyrics and sing, and have two original songs recorded, with English lyrics, one children's songs (a lullaby called The Kitten Dreams Song= and a blues called Fall II. I have lots of English lyrics, and I am the one who sings these songs, but I also have no way of paying for musicians to compose and prodution, no agent, no way to get more songs come to life, recorded, no way of recording an albun and much less of distribute it. So, again, if you feel interest on hearing this songs and help with that, or know someone that can have, please contact me. There are many ways you can help me. The most urgent is donating for the fund or sending money to my bank account, because the situation for me and my animals is extremely urgent and serious.
