purplerabbitSeveral friends have suggested we practice what we teach and ask for the help we need. This latest trauma with Sable has been one of a series of hardships we have suffered lately. I have been very ill, recently with a migraine that is now on day ten. We have had to buy emergency plane tickets, time lost from work and other expenses. The result is that our personal, material and energetic resources are really low right now. So, for those who can help, here is a list of resources we would use help with.
Financial -- we were already stretched to painful when things hit. So we could use financial assistance. Either direct donations. Or in the forms of household stuff, food stuffs, toilet paper. This money in particular could help offset the $1059 vet bill. Sable didn't die right away and the emergency clinic is very expensive. It took out most of our groceries money for the next month. I haven't been able to reorder the tea I drink because we haven't been able to afford it, for example. Here is the paypal button if you can donate.
Errands -- We have a number of errands we could use help with. I am too sick to drive right now. And my brakes need repair.
Auto Repair -- The brakes on my van needs new pads. We haven't had the money to replace them.
Housecleaning -- The house is really messy right now. The migraine has meant that I can't vacuum or stand for long. So we need the floors done. Bathrooms scrubbed. I need help putting my clothes away.
Gardening - My illness has meant that the garden beds are overgrown and the lawn needs mowing and other things.
Paperwork - I have a mountain of paperwork and have been too ill to work on it. I could use help sorting and dealing with insurance, bills, etc.
Cooking - Want to cook a meal for us? That would help with both food and the fact that we have been too depressed and/or sick to do much.
Body Work - Stress levels have been high enough, it would probably be a good thing if we could each have some body work done.
Positive Energy - Spells, prayers of positive supportive energy are very welcome right now.
