Hello and welcome everyone to my desperate plea for help. It is hard, to say the least, for me to write this in order to try and get help from complete strangers on the internet. I struggle every day to ask for help when I need it, even from my husband and confidante of 16 years. As I sit in front of my computer trying to find the words to put here, I grow anxious and terrified that I should not be doing this as surely I will just be a bother and my cry for help will be ignored.

My name is Katrina. I have struggled with severe depression and anxiety for more than half of my life. However, I was not officially diagnosed until 2007 when I wanted to kill myself during basic training for the Air Force. After being medically discharged, my primary care doctor back home confirmed what they had and further stated that it seemed like I went undiagnosed during my high school years. Along with my medication, she suggested that I keep an animal companion to help manage my depression. At the time, I had my 10 year old Rottweiler Emma to help me, but even her unconditional love could only go so far.

Later that year, I planned on introducing my online boyfriend to all of my friends on New Years Eve. They all knew about him, and some had even interacted with him through AOL Instant Messenger. Unfortunately, my best friend didn’t take to meeting him very well, and what should have been a super fun night, turned into a nightmare. My best friend since 4th grade wanted me to choose between her or him – a decision that a few years later, she apologized for and said was incredibly unfair of her. The damage had been done though. I hadn’t told my friends how severe my depression was or that I was discharged because I wanted to kill myself.

Once he and I returned to my parents place, I just stood out in the cold and cried. I was hurt and felt like I was all alone against world. He has been with me for the last 16 years, and were officially married in 2019. That night though, he resolved that I would never be alone again, and convinced me to move to Tulsa with him. In 2008, I met the best emotional support animal, and my absolute best friend, in the form of a small, lanky kitten named Cassie.

Cassie followed me everywhere I went. No one could pry her away from me, and after I got her, I started to understand why my doctor suggested a companion animal for my depression. Every night, she would come to bed with me and lay next to me. If she wasn’t by my side, I would find her either by my head or behind my legs. She wasn’t the greatest at waking me up, but that’s because of how much she loved just cuddling up next to me.

I couldn’t have a conversation with anyone without her inputting her two cents. Cassie was very vocal for a cat, and it’s something that I didn’t realize I had been taking for granted. When the pandemic hit, she took full advantage of me being home all the time instead of leaving to go to work. It got to the point that I had to order a special cat bed to put next to my desk otherwise I couldn’t get any work done. That same year, I was diagnosed with anxiety and severe pain attacks when my employer tried to pull everyone back into the office early. I lost the best job of my life because I had one panic attack at work while in the office. All because they didn’t want to uphold their end of the conditions we had agreed on to bring me back in.

In that moment, I was convinced that people weren’t worth my time. Cassie was with me the entire day after I was sent home and when I got the phone call stating that I wouldn’t have a job anymore if I refused to work in the office. I’m high risk for covid. I started seeing a psychologist once a month to try and work out my anxiety, depression, and panic attacks, but even he was stumped after my medication had reached the maximum dosages and I still continued to have severe episodes. I no longer have health insurance, so I can’t afford to continue seeing my doctor, but they keep my prescriptions up to date for me.

Time seemed to pass by in a blur. Every moment spent with my baby girl Cassie either watching stuff on TV, or with me playing video games. I couldn’t function outside of the house without having someone else with me. Unfortunately, at the end of November 2023, Cassie fell severely ill. At this point, my husband has been working full time and rushed home as soon as I told him she was sick. We didn’t have the money to take her to the vet. Thanksgiving had just gone by, and we’ve been struggling with almost $20k in credit card debt that built up over the last couple of years when our state stopped giving the unemployed stimulus bonus. We scheduled an appointment for her anyways.

At this point, we weren’t aware that she was dying, and our vet didn’t think her illness would cause it. Since we had been going to her for over 10 years, she let me do a deferred payment for her vet visit, but I couldn’t afford to get labs done that day. The vet gave us some donated pain medication for her to try and make things easier for her until her next appointment the day after my husband got paid. Maybe they could have saved her, maybe they couldn’t, but on December 5th, 2023, my baby girl Cassie passed away in her sleep from whatever she was sick with.

This was taken just a week before she got sick.

Here she is just a couple of days before she passed away.

I wish I knew of a better way to add these photos to this, but I don’t see an easy way to just copy/paste them or click + drag them.

Fast forward to today. I have been searching for a new emotional support animal, but most importantly, a new companion to help me. My husband has spent the last 3 1/2 months taking slightly longer lunches to make sure my depression hasn’t gotten the better of me. I have found a kitten that I would love to adopt and get to know, but with the rate of inflation and our debt, we can’t afford her. This kitten comes from someone who has taken the time and effort to ensure her kittens will be able to help someone like me, and that comes with a cost.

I need $2,000 to be able to afford this kitten, half of which is a deposit to just hold the kitten for me. I want to feel somewhat normal again. I know that there are kind-hearted people out there who can help, and I can only hope that you’ll help me. I want to believe that there are good and kind people in our world still. Please help me keep that belief alive.

Thank you,

Katrina

 

TLDR; I need $2,000 to afford a kitten to help with mental disorders and severe depression. I’m asking for help because I’m at my wits end and don’t know who else to turn to. My family is unable to help as they have no money, and I’m terrified to ask my friends for this kind of money when I know that they are also struggling.

To the Kind Strangers out there.

I’m begging/asking for help from the kind people of the BeggingMoney site to help me take care of my sweet baby girl, an Australian Cattle Dog, named Dasie.  I want to hire help that will go through the motions of taking care of Dasie with me.  I feel like I’m alone in taking care of Dasie because everyone in my family is busy with their own things.  My stepfather, himself, found out he has cancer two weeks ago.  Also, I need the money to help take her to the clinic/hospital and meds when needed, a cart to cart her around so that she won’t be stuck in the bedroom lonely and afford food that will be good for her.  It will also be good to have someone around her while I have to do some housework and learn how to run a CNC and wood working (want to start a small business in woodworking, I currently have no income) I don’t want her to ever be alone at this time of her life.  I want to At Least pay 2k a month, 500 a week, to the person who will help me.  I am requesting to hire help for at least one to two months if not three.  I’ll take what I can get.  Thank you in advance if you give me the ability to do so.  But even if I can get money just for the hospital bills, I would be really grateful.

My 14 year old Blue Heeler has tumors, bad teeth, arthritis and currently can’t stand.    A doctor had said that even if we paid 20k to do her surgery, she may pass soon after… or won’t last long?  Hm, now I don’t remember what exactly he said.  So I had decided I will go full on home treatment and try to keep her comfortable as much as I can.  Even if it’s too late to try to heal her, I have to try and let her be around family.

Dasie came into my life through the efforts of my youngest brother when he was about 10 years old.  He had named her Dasie Ninja Dog.  My father got him a pup, Dasie, but the apartment we lived in did not allow dogs.  After I left that apartment to rent on my own, I took Dasie with me because that apartment allowed dogs.  My father was not able to move to a different apartment yet so it landed on me to take care of her. As time went by, she just became my doggo.  I did not want a dog because I was a coward to feel pain when they will pass after loving them for their lifetime.  But I had kept her because she is family and grew to love her deeply. 

I had thought that the Vet cost was super expensive and just realized last year that you can do at home treatments on some ailments.  I remember when she was 10, the white of her eyes swelled and we called an animal hospital to inquire and they quoted that just to see her, the price started at $500. We did not have that amount and that incident had set firmly into my mind that the vet is super expensive.  

If I had realized that the vet was not too bad of a cost in other offices, if I had realized that some ailments and upkeep can be treated at home, if I was not so entrapped in the thought that cost is so much and had a ‘poor mans’ thinking, my Dasie wouldn’t be this bad by now.  I blame myself but I also realize that it’s been done and just do what I can. My baby did make it to 14 years old.  Though, I hope for another year or two at least.  I wish for her to pass in her sleep of old age, not because of ailments.  I found this site and I am trying it out hoping that maybe there really are good people out there looking at our stories and deciding to help us.

I did not set a money goal (but maybe 10k.  If I may be so much bolder and ask for 20k?) because I want as much as people can give me to help her.  Also, because I am not sure of the vet price for some things for her (like her painful teeth and x-rays).  If I can start to make my own money with in the three months somehow, and I am able to support her, and if I actually have left-over money, I will bring the money back into the BeggingMoney site for other furry babies that needs help along with my own donations.  My appreciation to those who help others.

Please help me help Dasie.

I wish to buy a property in the valley so that i can have more space for helping animals – There are some pieces of land but are over $100,000.00.  I currently have more than 10 dogs and one cat. I let so many go without my care and help due to not having enough room at my house which has a small normal lot. I care about the neighbors not having so much noise since these homes are only 10′ separate from each other….There are so many pets out without a loving home. Now that is cold is even harder to see them alone in the streets. I truly am grateful for all the rescuers out there. Let’s keep helping whenever we can and hopefully more people can do the same. When i get a big enough property, many more will be rescued and live happy for the rest of their lives. I’m doing good with feeding them and keeping up with vet visits but, would like to ask for donations to do something bigger and greater for them and others that are waiting for their much better home and land to play. I thank you all in advance for all your donations to help our little best friends have a much better-quality life!

We are reaching out for support in our urgent need to find a new home due to a challenging situation with our two beautiful huskies. While we deeply cherish their vibrant energy and joyful spirit, their natural inclination to be vocal has unfortunately become a point of contention with our current landlord. Despite our best efforts to manage their noise, it has been made clear that we must find a new living arrangement. This unexpected turn of events has put us in a difficult position, as relocating on short notice is not only stressful but also financially demanding. Our huskies are an integral part of our family, and the thought of parting with them is unimaginable. Therefore, we are seeking assistance to secure a new, welcoming home where our huskies can freely express themselves without the constraints of stringent noise policies.

In the small, cozy corner of my world, a place filled with warmth and whiskers, my heart is tethered to the well-being of my precious kittens. As the guardian of these furballs, I have found myself facing an unexpected challenge – the daunting burden of medical bills. These enchanting creatures, with their playful antics and tender purrs, have become not just companions but cherished members of my family. Recently, a sudden health crisis befell on my kittens, casting a shadow over our peaceful haven. It is a heartbreaking realization that their tiny bodies, though resilient, are susceptible to unforeseen ailments that can only be addressed through veterinary care.

Every meow, every delicate paw step, resonates with a profound connection that goes beyond the realms of mere pet ownership. It is a bond forged in the quiet moments of shared solitude and the jubilant laughter that fills our home. My feline companions have been a source of solace, joy, and unwavering companionship, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary with their unspoken loyalty. The mere thought of them in pain strikes a chord deep within my soul, compelling me to seek the best possible care for their ailing friend.

As I navigate the labyrinth of veterinary bills, the financial strain becomes an unexpected hurdle, threatening the swift recovery and well-being of my cherished fur baby. Each consultation, diagnostic test, and medication prescribed not only signifies a step towards healing but also adds to the growing mountain of expenses. It is in this moment of vulnerability that I reach out, not just as a caregiver but as someone who understands the power of empathy and the collective strength of a compassionate community.

The love for my kittens transcends the boundaries of words, yet it is with a humble heart that I appeal for assistance in shouldering the weight of these unexpected medical bills. Your support will not only contribute to the physical healing of my beloved furry companions but will also restore the sense of security and peace that defines our shared space. In times of uncertainty, the kindness of others becomes the beacon of hope, and I am grateful for any gesture, no matter how small, that helps illuminate the path toward recovery for my dear kittens. Together, let us weave a tapestry of compassion, ensuring that these endearing souls continue to grace our home with their vibrant presence and unbridled spirit. God bless.

Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. Today, I reach out to you with a heavy heart, seeking support for my beloved dogs, who are facing serious health challenges.

About My Dogs Tiny and Summer are not just pets; they are family. Tiny has been battling a severe ear condition, which has led to significant hearing loss. Despite multiple courses of antibiotics and treatments, the only option left is a surgical procedure to remove her ear canal, which costs $4,000. Summer has recently started limping badly, and we urgently need to get X-rays to diagnose and treat the cause effectively.

Why I Need Your Help The cost of their medical care is beyond my current financial capacity. I am determined to provide them with the care they need, but I cannot do it alone. That’s why I am turning to you, my community, for help.

How You Can Help Any donation, big or small, will make a significant difference in Tiny’s and Summer’s lives. Your support will go directly towards:

• The $4,000 surgery for Tiny’s to regain her quality of life.
• X-rays and potential treatment for Summer’s limping issue.

How to Donate You can donate through PayPal . Michael.groover8225@gmail.com Every contribution brings us closer to our goal.

Sharing is Caring Even if you’re unable to contribute financially, sharing this message with your friends, family, and network would be a great help!

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your support means the world to us and gives hope in this challenging time.

With gratitude, Michael Groover

I recently got a Parvo (in between rounds of shots) for my puppy. I am devastated. I have been extending all and any financial means to keep him in care for this awful virus he has no chance to survive if I have to take him home early. I visit him everyday and it breaks my heart to see him so sick and down. I got this little guy and bonded with him immediately – he’s my goofy little fun loving bug.  I can’t even think about what I’m going to do.  I have never been one to ask for financial help but I am desperate and will do whatever I have to. I miss him in my home with me, sleeping in my bed, his little nose boops. The joy he has brought me in the last 6 months could never be described with words. I also suddenly lost my grandfather and the timing of it all is so grim. The holidays are on us and I just sit it this dark place, I can barely eat or think or anything. If you can help, with any donations I would be forever grateful. I just need some light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you greatly for the help and compassion. My little bug deserves a fighting chance this holiday season.

If picturs are requsted please email me .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Thanks for your consideration.                   Sincerely, Thomas Davis                                                                                                                                                                                                                              https://paypal.me/TDAVISCOIN?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US

Hello, I am here to introduce Mr. Rocky, who is currently a three-year-old French Bulldog; we have been fighting this ear infection for quite some time. I have taken him to multiple vets to get different opinions on his ear, and they all told me other things. He has been to vets in Dallas, TX, and Los Angles, California, where we currently live. Remind you; that every vet visit costs me a minimum of 300 dollars. The vet prescribed him an allergy medicine called Apoquel; sure, some of you may be familiar with that. Also, a prescription is called Simplicef, which is an antibiotic medication indicated for dogs with skin infections or any bacterial infection. I added myself to a few Facebook groups to get pointers on this. I have tried Zymox Ear Cleaner- That Didn’t Work; Yeast Release Max supplements; someone told me that would help break down the Yeast Bateria- That Didn’t Work. Allergy Aid for dogs 120 Chewable tablets, Digestion- Prebiotic, Probiotics, Enzymes to help his digestion system, Pet Armor Antihistamine Diphenhydramine HCI to help for allergies a dog Benadryl, Mometamax Otic ear solution prescribed by the vet-That Didn’t Work, NaturVet Aloe & Baby Powder Scent Dog & Cat Ear Wash-That Didn’t Work, Dog Ear Powder to dry up the bacteria and again still NO LUCK. I had an insurance policy with Healthy Paws but had to cancel it in December last year due to financial hardship. So I started using my Care Credit Card, and they decided to drop my credit limit from $13K to an outstanding credit limit of $4k. Never thought that would ever happen. He is currently up to date on all of his shots.

I must say this has to be one of the hardest things to do, which is having to ask you guys for help. I have donated to a lot of different platforms on Gofundme for years now anonymously, but I never thought I would be the one making a profile. But Gofundme has been a fantastic software to help people in need. I asked for $7,500 because his first surgery cost me $4,800, not including med refills. They had to take out his whole ear canal; now, it has traveled to the other ear. I spoke to a vet out in Dallas, and she told me she might can do a TECA EAR procedure. That is still giving me a cost anywhere from $3800-5500. I have not had any sleep meanwhile woke up yesterday where Rocky was pouring blood from the side of his face. So I have been up all night waiting to rush him over to the Vet; I may have to cancel my flight today again, which I cannot AFFORD to do either. Hopefully, I can upload pictures of him currently.

So again, I do appreciate the help from Begging Money and anyone who decides to help us.
