My name is Mylene and I have a dog who’s 7 years old, it’s a Staffordshire terrier Pitbull, Diezel Bumbum and he’s my best friend. Up until a year ago, we we’re renting a home for 5 years, a place we called home, where we could lay our heads at night and feel safe but January 10/21 I found my boyfriend deceased in the bathroom.
The moment that happened, my whole world changed and I experienced grief for the first time. Then the news of my landlord selling the property was shocking and devastating because we were going to lose a home we loved. October 4 of last year, we ended up on the street because I was unable to secure another place that would allow me to have my dog. Nothing can prepare someone for the shock of becoming homeless overnight, it’s a scary moment and you feel so helpless.
I managed to find a hotel that would allow dogs but the cost is quite extensive and now winter is just around the corner and I’m out of money. I will never get rid of my dog because he’s the reason I get up every day despite feeling overwhelmed and stressed out, always wondering how we’re going to make it another day. If I was able to secure a place where my dog is safe so that I can return to work, that would be the dream. I hope everybody and anybody would give the shirt off my back and now I’m the one seeking a little help so that my dog and I don’t have to live outside in the cold.
I’m only asking for a little bit of money to stay afloat because I’ve always been a hard worker and I give back as much as I can so if anyone can stare a few dollars to help us out to get back on her feet to where we used to be, I would be utterly grateful.
I just want to say thank you for everyone who takes the time to read my plea for help during this time of struggle and I promise to pay it forward.
