I don't know where to start because although we have never been wealthy we had always been the one to help others and now we find ourselves in the position of being in desperate need. I had hoped to be able to pull us out of this 3 yr. downward spiral on my own but it is now painfully obvious I can't. My 76 yr. old Mom and I live in a doublewide on a 4 acre property in the small town of Sparr. We have always taken in injured/abandoned/unwanted domestic animals and rehabilitated injured/orphaned wildlife. We now house 33 animals; dogs,cats,horses,birds and turtles. We were managing to do this without assistance from money we made with a small Ebay store. This is such a small rural area that jobs are very scarce and do not pay enough to survive on. Ebay made ends meet, but barely. Unfortunately sales dropped to nothing right after Christmas, we had a rash of veterinary emergencies, hay had doubled in price and I had a medical and dental emergency(no insurance) all of which has managed to put us 3 months behind on our mortgage payment and running beyond the ragged edge. We now have less than $30.00, we are running out of all animal food, cannot pay the mortgage or any other monthly bills and I honestly don't know what to do. I am in a panic and it is taking a toll on both Mom and I healthwise. Any and all advice or assistance would be sincerely appreciated. If you can help us continue to help our animal friends our gratitude will be eternal. Thank you
