:dogeparrot: new Ko-fi :kofi: goal :verified_paw: to help with Arwen's vet bills...

ko-fi.com/playstationpixy/goal

I'm doing my best to make ends meet. I know that I've bought some things for myself lately... But not as much as I'd like to... (edit: I don't mean spoil myself crazy, I mean things like some clothes that would fit me properly 🫣)

I had some savings for Arwen. It wasn't much, as since December 2023 I had been preparing for the move. I've used funds for the new home, as moving is never cheap, and you often need new things to make the new house your own.

Then Arwen got a bad ear infection, and that took out all the savings I had. I was desperate, as the bills kept coming. I had a GoFundMe and I got some great support form the community here! It greatly overwhelmed me, and I was so blown away with all the kindness. :flying_hearts:

The war infection seems to be under control. 😊 But during the cause of the treatment, we realized that Arwen was struggling a lot with pain due to arthritis. 😔 There are meds for this, so we tried them. And they really helped! But... They need to be administered every four weeks and they're not too cheap. 😢

Depending if she needs a checkup, the costs are between €80-€130 every four weeks...

I'm doing my best to make ends meet, and my mum is helping when she can... But I do need some money for some things, and saving is very hard when you have a disability income and the vet costs...

I try to live economically. Don't have the heating too high. Drive a small hybrid car. Not eating the most expensive foods (heck I don't even like those... 😉). But it's still hard to save and I do need certain things (like good prescription sunglasses and new shoes for Skoosh, and some new clothes could be nice as some are wearing thin 😔). None of this comes cheap...

So I'm swallowing my pride again, and I've set up the Ko-fi for support with Arwen. Every little bit would help me tremendously. I can't pay it forward money wise, but I always do my best to help people when I can! 🌹

Fankoos 🫶🏻 on behalf of Arwen 🐾 and myself :bear_love: . We'll be ever so grateful for all the support. Boosting is also very appreciated! :boosts_ok_gay:


Pupdate:
Thanks so much for all the boosts!! :boosts_ok_gay:
We really appreciate it :heart:
I made a small edit, as I re-read the original Toot and it looked like I wanted to buy unneeded things for myself.... 😔
As the edit says, I would like to be able to buy some clothes that fit properly and that don't have small holes in them...
And I do need to save for prescription sunglasses, as my eyes are super light sensitive, and I do need glasses, especially while driving...
And... Skoosh needs new shoes, that's my car in need of new tires...

So it's not like I wanna go crazy and get myself a Nintendo Switch or something....

I just realized that it may have sounded that way. English is not a main language for me, so sometimes the translation is not as I meant it...

Sorry for the confusion, just wanted to clear this up. And I felt like I owed an explanation as to why I edited the original Toot, after it's received several boosts already.

On Arwen and my behalf, a very big thank you for all your support! :flying_hearts:

Another Pupdate :verified_paw:

To those that have helped me/us, thanks sooooop much!! We're halfway the shot for the end of the month! 😁

As far as I know, she doesn't need a checkup yet, so the costs should (hopefully) be at €80 on the 28th.

I really appreciate all the help!!

This means I may save a little bit to get the sunglasses I need so badly... I do want to be safe in the car... (and on the streets 😂). Wish my eyes were less sensitive, but that's my AuDHD for me... Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 there won't be any more extra costs...

Fankoos again! I really appreciate it! :flying_hearts: and I'm sure Arwen does too. 😊 She doesn't like the shots but i think she does enjoy that they help her to feel better...

All your boosts and donations sure make the difference to Arwen and myself! :heart: Fankoos 🫶🏻
