I am sitting here not even knowing how to start without crying again. Tomorrow, January 16th, 2026, is the court hearing. I keep trying to be strong, but right now it feels like everything is slipping through my hands.
So many people have messaged me, supported me, shown kindness, people who do not even know me. And still I have to be honest: I only have about a quarter of what I still need. A quarter. And the hearing is tomorrow.
Meanwhile Blue is still in the shelter. Not because he is dangerous. Not because he hurt anyone. But because in the end it comes down to money. Whether I can cover the costs. And it breaks my mind because it feels so wrong. Blue does not understand any of this. He only knows he is gone. That he is alone. That he is waiting every day. And I feel helpless because I cannot just bring him home.
I am ashamed to ask like this. I truly am. I never wanted to be this person. I have always worked, I am still in training, I am trying to hold everything together. I even took a second small cleaning job. I am running on empty. But this amount is too big to simply pull out of nowhere. And the closer tomorrow gets, the more panic I feel, because I am scared I will not make it.
But I am writing this anyway. Because I do not have another choice.
If you have a heart, if you love dogs, if you know what it means when an animal is not “just a pet” but family, then I am asking you from the bottom of my heart today: please help me. Please help Blue.
If you can give anything, even a small amount, please do. If you cannot donate, please share. Or leave kind words. Anything that keeps Blue from being forgotten. Everything helps. Everything matters.
I promise you, I will never forget this. When I am back on my feet one day, when I can breathe again, I want to give this back. I want to be the person who helps others when they are at the bottom, the way you are helping me right now.
Tomorrow is the day. And I am trying not to fall apart. But I am scared. For my dog. For this piece of my family sitting behind kennel bars.
Please help us if you can. Please.
