Donation protected
Carolin Hogue, Jacob Sims and their family (three small kinds, including a young baby) lost everything in a fire in South Carolina today. Their home is a total loss and all their belongings are also gone. Jacob is a veteran and Carolin is all around a good person. I decided to start this campaign because of what they did for me in my time of pain now we must help them in their time. They have beautiful children and we need to Help these kids rebuild their lives as soon as possible. Let me tell you how I met them and why they deserve your help.

I met Carolin and her family in November 2015 shortly after a tragedy occurred in my life. You see, I have many health problems and can't have kids and animals are my kids. I even work as RVT, dedicating my life to animals. So naturally I treat my animals like kids. I had a very special dog, a German shepherd named Bob Marley, Marley for short. One day while I was at work at the animal hospital, someone broke into my home and robbed me of everything valuable and destroyed my home.where I lived alone with my dog and my cats. Well not only did they break in but they beat my cat Phil and shot and killed my Marley and then placed him in my bathtub. It destroyed me. I never went back In there, moved out immediately and moved to another city. It changed my life and I missed my dog.

Soon Marley's story went viral, his name and faces reached all around the WORLD. People from.Japan were contacting me. Then one beautiful day an angel and her knight Jacob saw Marley's story and how completely devastated and.lost I was. Ironically, Carolin is a breeder of German shepherds, and has white ones. Which is even more ironic being that Marley was white. After seeing my story in SC she called the news station WNCN here in NC and they got in touch with me and told me to call her. I called her and she changed my life again.

Her white GSD had had puppies in October. Marley was born in October three years prior. She wanted to give me one of her beautiful GSDs. When I saw picture of my new boy, I saw Marley in his eyes. Soon we met in December and she gave me my 8 week old boy Ziggy Marley, named in honor of my Bob Marley.

Her and her future husband saved my life. I was so depressed and lost. They filled the empty in my heart. But they insisted on giving the glory to god, saying he lead them to me. They are amaZing and full of god's love. They are so kind, you can feel it when you hug them.both. They're excellent parents and have brilliant kids. Faith their youngest was a miracle herself. Nobody deserves losing everything but they especially didn't.

Please share and donate and let's help these good people and their family and their pets start to rebuild their lives like they helped me rebuild mine. I wish I was a billionaire and I wish I could instantly give them back their life and home, like they instantly gave me back mine that December day when Carolin being the wonderful woman that she is put that beautiful Ziggy in my arms. Not only is she good to people and her family, she's good to animals too.

Please help me pay it forward to people who have paid it forward several.times before. Whatever you can pitch in even if it's just one dollar please do it and share this link. All the money will go directly to her and her family. Thank you so.much and please.keep them in your prayers too!!!
