Okay... I don't really know how to start this... Or even how to end it. I've never really had to ask for anything like this in my life.
...Nothing that was so important, has ever been on the line, like this.
So I'll cut to the chase.
I live in an abusive home. I have a chance to leave, and it's likely to be the only one I'll ever have until I'm 18.
My best friends, Genevieve, Drew, and Jason, are all going to help me. However, the problem is money.
I'll be living in an apartment with Drew and Jason, who are the most kind and caring guys I've ever met. I've known Genevieve for over two years, and I can honestly say that out of all of the people I've ever met face-to-face, I trust her the most.
Drew is her boyfriend, and Jason is just their best friend. He's slowly becoming one of mine, too. Anyway, enough of that. I'm not going to date him or anything, he's not my type. He's just the type of guy to be friends with.
So... Here's the deal. I own two miniature Dachshunds, and just as I am a pathetic human that can't live without them, they cannot live without me. If I even go spend the night at my mom's for the weekend, my dogs refuse to eat. They lay around in their dog bed all the time, until I come back.
I once went to Wisconsin for two months, and I couldn't take my dogs... And they got so deathly sick that we had to come home early.
The apartment complex where I'll be living with Drew and Jason, said that for each dog, there will be a non-refundable deposit of $250. That's $500 total.
My eyes bugged out of my head when I heard, and I immediately thought that I'd be stuck here. Because I can't go anywhere without them. I just can't. They're my life, and they've been my best friends when no one else has. If any of you have a pet that you're close to, you understand this bond just as well as I do. Without one, the other falls.
So I'm here to ask-- no, beg. I'm in no position to ask. I'm here to beg you for donations, because it's the only thing I have left that I can do, other than start selling my posessions. And don't get me wrong, I'm willing to do it... (In fact, I have a line-up of what is worth the most) It's just that I need money by the 14th if at all possible. If I get money after then, it will go toward paying Drew back for everything that he's been doing. I mean, afterall, I'm going to have to pay rent. I'll have to get a job.
So I'm holding out my donation cup... Begging for anything you have. Spare change, a few dollars leftover from a paycheck... Anything.
Anything, is better than what I have now. Which is currently almost nothing. I have $50 right now, and it kills me to even consider losing my precious pets.
For any donations you can muster, I'm willing to draw something for you, and send you the original through the mail. Be it a persona, fan art, or even just something random you came up with. I'm sorry to say that I really don't have any examples, except what I can do on the computer. And if you want computer-drawn art, I'd be more than happy to do that, too! I'm more experienced with computer art...
If anyone wants examples, please tell me. I promise I don't royally stink, ask Leafy and Arielle...
But for now, anything you can muster... Anything... *Sighs*
I feel so bad for asking... I don't think anyone really knows the value of a dollar until they have no money.
*Glances down*
I think I have the expenses for one dog covered, too. Arielle said she's going to try to send $100, Lilu said she's gonna send $40... Jennalyn said maybe $50... I have $50... Jadea said about $10, and Amaroq said about $10...
Anyway, everyone who says they'll send money... Will be entitled to a draw of some sort... Anything they want, as long as I know I can do it.
