Veteran & Dogs to Lose Housing July 11th -Urgent!

Donation protected
Hi!

We really need your help and fast! We lose our housing July 11th and face being separated. A wonderful opportunity is available for us, but we urgently need funding.


I'm Aquino, the guy on the right and that's my sister Sadie Mae. Our Dad is Sonny (Howard Brooks). He is a Military Veteran who left with an honourable discharge, but he does live with PTSD. I was placed with him through K9Partners for Patriots as his service dog and always try my best to take care of him, but the truth is I need him as much as he needs me.


We already had to move this winter after losing our housing in Ohio through no fault of our own. Our friend Brian who is also Dad's therapist drove all of the way to pick us up and bring us to Florida. It has been very hard for Dad since moving. Now we are losing our home again.


Our dad has an incredible opportunity to move our family West. There is a job waiting for him thanks to friends made along the way. To make sure we can go and not have to be separted and houseless, we need financial help immediatly.

To make this happen we need funds for :

  • a reliable used 4x4 vehicle (& start up basics - oil change, insurance, tune up, etc). This vehicle will also be used for work once Dad gets us out West
  • fuel, food & lodging from Florida to Oregon (incl. pet fees, incidentals etc)
  • Solar battery & back up generator for our trailer (our new home)
  • Incidental expenses in setting up our new home
  • Warm/work clothing for fall winter

  • Vetting for Sadie & me. This will be done thanks to The Be Like Josh Foundation a registered 501(c)3 You may donate to website via this link Link to Be Like Josh - Vetting of Aquino & Sadie OR their PayPal (PLEASE SPECIFY FOR MR. HOWARD BROOKS in dedication box)


To Sadie Mae & me, home is wherever we are with our Dad and we can't face being without him as the head of our special family. Please will you consider helping us find our path?

Thank you,
Aquino xo
