Hello Friends
I want to begin by thanking everyone who has already helped us, not only this month, but over the past few years, since I lost my family. We could never have made it, without the generosity of amazing friends, whom I cherish and very much consider family.
I wish we were able to live within our means, but with my only income being social security disability, and with my being unable to work, as per my doctor, it will never get better for me, unless there are policy changes that allow for better cost of living raises in the social security program. That is why I fund raise as much as I do. I really do try to cover us the best I can, before I ask.
Some of the issues I face this month are due to my auto insurance being due this month, a colder than usual month in March caused a higher than usual electric bill, and there are 5 weeks between checks, this month. My check is $1341, and 3 bills alone, the insurance, the electric bill and one HUGE credit card bill, took $900, leaving me with $441 to pay other bills and cover a few groceries. We were blessed to get a big donation that covered the car insurance, so that gave me a little more to put on bills, groceries, and flea and tick preventative for my dogs. I also get a $100 Kroger card once a month from my uncle.
So what I ended up doing was using a different credit card to cover Ace's arthritis prescription, most of the autoships for my dogs, and groceries. We got some donations today, which I can go ahead and pay on the card I used for today's groceries, and we are very greatful for those donations!
So now, where I need help is
-
to cover groceries for the next 2 Fridays. They are roughly $150 a week,
-
help to cover 3 payments I have left to paypal for ordering Ace's Deer Chews on a payment plan through paypal, and
-
help to pay off what I had to charge on that extra credit card. I know that is a lot to ask, and I very much hate to ask, but here is why I am.
In May, I need to order dog food for both of my dogs. Alma's is not bad, $46 a pallet, but Ace's prescription food is $124 for 2 pallets, and that is the only way it comes. I cannot order individual pallets! Even if I could. He would go through 2. Aside from that, May should be easier, but not easy enough to afford 2 huge credit card bills!
Then in June, both dogs have a groom appointment, and their annual checkup. I expect she will want to do blood work on Ace, him being a senior, and we need to have her look at Alma's chewing on her paws. I also have to order heart worm preventatives for both of them in June, so June is going to be very hard, if I don't get this credit paid down, now.
After June, if nothing else happens, we should be good until September, when Homeowners is due, and Car Insurance is due again!
So here is what we need.
The payment schedule to paypal is $36.99 on April 24th, May 10th and May 26th.
Grocery money for Friday April 24th and Friday May 1, since I don't get paid again until May 3rd.
As much as we can possibly get to go toward that extra credit card. I charged all of this in April $791.36. After I pay the donations I got for today's groceries, I will still owe them $611.36.
If we get all of that and more, any additional will go toward paying down that big credit card, to bring my monthly payments down! I would very much like to be able to get my balance lower on it, so the monthly payment won't be so high.
Aside from the fundraiser, you can donate to me via paypal, venmo, cash app or mail a check.

I will also go ahead and make up an Amazon List for May, because any help I can get toward my dogs' autoships and non-perishable items will go a long way for us! Ace already has his arthritis prescription for May!
We can also use Kroger Cards, Walmart Cards, Amazon Cards or Chewy Cards. I don't get much from Chewy, but I do get Ace's food and deer chews there.
Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much to everyone who has helped us in the past, or will help us now. God Bless You, each and every one!
