Hello all, my name is David. I’m from Dallas, Texas, currently living in Mobile, Alabama. I hate that I’m at a point where I have to do this, but this is what it’s come to. A little background about myself: I served my country in the Air Force for over 6 years, working on airplanes. I had a good job in the civilian world when I got out, but recently I had to leave because my dad had a heart attack, and he runs a business. I’ve been doing that for some months now, and I started a serving job to make some extra money.

Well, about 3 weeks ago, my dad told me he has prostate cancer. So I’ve been taking him back and forth to chemo while still trying to keep our business afloat and keep my serving job. Well, to make matters worse, the transmission in my car went out last week, so I’ve been using our work truck. But I say all that to just give an outlook on my situation. The real reason I’m on here is because I bought a Doberman puppy 3 months ago. His last round of shots is coming up soon, and he hurt his leg playing in our yard. He’s been limping these past few days. I brought this dog home with me, and he doesn’t deserve to struggle or not have everything he needs. He didn’t ask for any of this. I love dogs, always have since I was a kid. My last dog genuinely saved my life. I hate it’s come to this, but this is where I am.

I know right now is tough times for everyone, but I have to swallow my pride and admit I need help getting out of my current situation. I won’t lie and say I don’t need assistance with my car and my dad, but I’m on here for my dog. I pray that you all can find the decency in your heart and help with anything you can. It will not go unappreciated. I still believe there are genuine good people out there, and everything you give will be returned to you by God and more. God bless you.
