How You Can Help Us

Help!

I am really struggling right now and I am starting to feel hopeless. I don't have enough money to cover everything I need to care for Pheona during this time. I am disabled so I am not working and my SSI income was recently cut by 65%. My money for the month is already spent on rent and essential bills to keep a roof over our heads. I could really use some help. I don't know what else to do.

Sometimes you hear stories about people who turn to the "internet" for help and the "internet" goes above and beyond to support someone deserving or in need. Kind-hearted people donated several hundreds of thousands of dollars recently so a bullied bus driver could retire. I thought that was one of the best stories I had ever heard. 

Well, I certainly don't need anywhere near half a million dollars! I don't need anything even close to that. I just need about $1,000- more if she has surgery at some point. I wonder if the "internet"- if you actually- can find it in your heart to help me and Phe? Just a dollar could make a difference. Or maybe you have, but don't need, one of the items we need and it is taking up space in your home.

Even if you can't donate anything right now could you please share our story? Someone you know might be able to help. I can't thank you enough for even taking the time to read this, Pheona is my entire world. It is tearing me up inside that I can't afford to give her what she needs right now. I would be eternally grateful for anything you could do to help us.

Ways You Can Help

Things we need or already owe money for:

• Attend’s Underpads-Walgreen’s brand is Certainty. Also known as “Chux”. Large, Maximum absorbancy. (Waterproof bed protectors, like puppy training pads but without the scent to encourage animals to pee on it.) Puppy training pads also work but are smaller.
• Poise Ultra-Thin Pads regular length.-Walgreen’s brand is Certainty. Light bladder protection pads for women. (We use 2 of these and 1 even larger each time she has to wear her “shorts”. We currently have an extra-large package of the large pads.)

• Prescription medicine (prednisone) every 20 days is $29.66
• Generic equivalents for any of these care items is fine, I just used name brands to identify the items more clearly. Partial packages would also be appreciated if you have something from the list around the house.
