Christy Prenger hasn't added a story.
My name is Christy. Last December, my life changed forever when a devastating fire took my home, all my belongings, and my beloved dog, who was my heart and soul. I tried to save him, but the flames were too strong. The pain of that loss is something I carry every single day.
The fire didn’t just take my home—it also destroyed my car, leaving me stranded without reliable transportation. I’ve been fortunate to receive some donations from kind souls, but I have nowhere to store them. A small shed would make a world of difference, but it’s another expense I can’t cover.
On top of all this, my knees are failing me. I need surgery to walk again, but without the ability to work, I’m stuck in a painful cycle.
This holiday season, while others are celebrating with their loved ones, I’m simply searching for a path forward. Your generosity could bring hope back into my life.
Your donation will help me:
- Build a small shed to store donations and regain some stability.
- Adopt a new dog to bring love and comfort into my life.
- Take steps toward recovering my health and mobility.
Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. If you can’t donate, sharing my story with others is just as valuable. Together, we can turn this heartbreak into hope.
Thank you for being part of my journey to healing and rebuilding. Your kindness means more than words can express
Now, I’m living in a small camper, trying to rebuild what I can. Therapy has been a lifeline for me, and my therapist believes that adopting another dog could help me heal. But right now, I can’t afford that kind of comfort or joy.
