My name is Ed. I’m 44, permanently disabled, and living with the reality that I may only have a few years left due to complications from two failed TPIAT (pancreas) transplant surgeries. Doing my best to stay positive, and one of the main reasons I can is my service dog, Cassie. She has already saved my life once. She is an Australian cattle dog that I rescued after she had suffered terrible abuse. Her former owner killed her puppies in front of her and even shot her. Despite everything, she is completely dedicated to me. We rely on each other—she helps me physically and emotionally, and I give her the safety and love she deserves. I live on $1,154 a month from SSDI. For almost three years, I’ve managed to keep a roof over our heads in a small one-bedroom apt. But recently, the property was sold, and the new owner has made life here impossible. Since April, construction crews have broken into my home without notice, ripped out my air conditioning, destroyed my security cameras and lights, and left me surrounded by constant noise and damage from morning to night. They even ruined my $3,000 medical bed, which I depend on. It is a clear attempt to drive me out through constructive eviction. Because of the chaos, I had to board Cassie for her own safety which has cost me everything i have and been devastating for me. My lease is up soon, I have no savings to cover first month’s rent and deposit elsewhere, and my truck needs $600 in repairs just to stay running. I’m stuck in an impossible position, and the stress is making my health worse. I never thought I would have to ask for help like this. I don’t want to sound like I’m begging always tried to be independent—heck, I used to own my own successful lawn and landscaping business and employ and helped others…Ivebnever asked for help, but this is an emergency…What I need is support to secure a safe place for Cassie and me to live, cover moving expenses, and make sure I can get to medical appointments. Every contribution will go directly toward starting fresh somewhere safe. Cassie and I have both survived a lot, and we’re determined to keep going together. If you can help, I would be deeply grateful. Even sharing this with others makes a difference. I truly appreciate your help and ever dollar will go to securing the sage housing we need 1st and then the repair of my truck…Thank you from the bottom of my heart…
