Support Our Pack: Fix the Dog Show Van
Donation protected
Every thing was taken from me and then the van I need for work and to live broke down !!! I was cut off from a business I spent the last 8 years building completely separated from any assets I had then this happened . As I stood in the driveway, staring at my beloved dog show van, a wave of despair washed over me. The engine lay silent, a cruel reminder of how quickly everything can change. Just last week, I was normal and working to make things happen, my pack of champions beside me, ready to compete and chase our dreams and help people and their dogs reach balance and be happy healthy and fulfilled . Now, with a catastrophic emergency, I find myself facing an uphill battle—not just to fix the van but to keep my family of dogs together. They rely on me, and the thought of letting them down is unbearable. I need to raise $3,000 to get back on the road, but the reality of my situation leaves me feeling utterly humbled and humiliated. I have never needed to ask for help like this and it absolutely killed me to make this post ! Now I’m about to be homeless and the van is my only hope
Asking for help is not something I’m used to. I’ve always prided myself on being self-sufficient, working hard and doing everything I can for my dogs. But now, here I am, reaching out to friends, family, and even strangers, desperately trying to find a way to make ends meet. The shame of begging for help weighs heavy on my heart; I never imagined I would find myself in this position. Yet, I know that I can’t let my beloved dogs down. They’ve been my companions through thick and thin, and I owe it to them to fight for our future together. So here I am, swallowing my pride to ensure that we can continue our journey—together.
