I'd like to meet:

**Please Help***My DOGS *** QUICK READ PLEA ::I never wanted to beg but am desperate . I am sick and broke(like many, I know) They are selling my apartment and I cant find a place nor have the money they want to put down on a place that will keep my "Boyz" Pit Bulls have such a bad rap, no one believes me that mine is a big baby . I am only asking for a donation of 1- 2. $ can hit donate key on my page or mail to The Boyz Home P.O. Box 404 Berlin Ct. 06037. I am not just sitting praying for help,although I desperatly need it. I also have 2 Ebay accounts,(1) fortheboyzhome (2)toomuchstuff62, that I do since outside working has become difficult due to illness. Can You post this through all your friends list? I thank you so much and will keep updates thanks again. UPDATE: Lucky for us Market is slow, house has not sold yet.Donations have been zero, but Ive gotten plenty of emails on this being a scam.My only answer to that is if I was going to try to scam people I would of come up with a better idea than pouring out most of my life and humiliating myself with basically begging. I am just desperate to keep these 2 dogs with me since they have been a part of our family since they were very young puppies,and NEED US as much as WE NEED them.Scrappy the one with Pit in him is sooo DEPENDENT and I FEAR he Would'nt do well at all if he had to be placed out, he came to us at 5 weeks old. Thanks.

SHORT Version Let me start out with this statement. I do fully understand and realize that there are so many of us in my situation and sadly even worse. I would also like to say that it has taken me to the bare extreme critical desperation to even do this. I have always been a hard worker and the last thing I ever wanted to do or let me kids know I am doing is beg. Sadly out of desperation I am finding my self with the choice of try this or part with my “boyz” (one of which is so dependent he would possibly not survive the separation L ), and also find myself homeless with my son who only has 3 years left to graduate HS. A boy in his short years that has already suffered enough loss. The apartment I was finally able to find that allowed me to keep my “boyz” is on the market now. I cant find an apartment that will take my to “boyz” mostly because the youngest has th pit bull face, and their reputation is horrible. Hes the sweetest thing , but a lot of people still just don’t trust them. I am sicker by the day so employment has been to hard to maintain. They want so much to just move in let alone find one that accepts my “boyz”. I had a decent savings for a down payment on a little fix’r upper house with some yard, but then lost childrens father and following that loss got very ill myself, Short version is a plea for just 1 or 2 dollar donation so that I can get enough to put down on that little fix’r upper, which would allow me to keep my “boyz” all my boyz secure and together. You don’t need a pay pal account to use the donate button, if you would like to help but don’t feel good about the donate button you could send to For the Boyz P,O, Box 404 Berlin Ct. 06037 . Thanks so much

Hmm the LONG version . I can start out with I am a widowed Mom, my Childrens father ( a Vietnam Vet) died on Memorial Day 2000.Prior to his death I was working as a manager of a dept. in a grocery store making decent money and had a healthy savings. The savings was for a down payment on a little house so that, 1 I could keep my children in one home and also get them the dog we have always wanted. My son was very shy and I knew that having a best friend would be a great thing for him. Sadly my childrens fathers loss was devastating enough , then to realize we had no insurance and as many Vets have found out, there is no help from the Veterans “funds”. On top of those blows most all of his assets were stolen. He had Roofing and Siding business. With that he had loads of equipment, and before he even had his funeral most all got stolen. I am grateful I had a decent savings or we would of faced homelessness then. We have all heard the saying when it rains it pores. Well shortly after this I had gotten very sick and was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Arthritis. Due to Chronic fatigue and chronic pain I had to give up the full time job. I applied for and got disability however taking time away from work when my children were young I didn’t have enough paid in so I get the SSI which is very very hard to survive on as a single parent. I was able to take on a part time job at a campground that we as a family had been a seasonal camper at for years. I was given a promotion to manage the office and store along with that the owners bought a house adjoining the campground. I was offered to rent the house on 3 acres,. It wasn’t my house but I was ok’d to get a long awaited dog, so then came Max Well Max at 10 months old got my cousins dog pregnant. It was one of those 10 people around watching and 10 people figuring the other 9 were paying attention to make sure the 2 dogs didn’t get together. Well 2 months later came Scrappy. The mom dog was only 10 months old also, she had a litter of 10. She started refusing to feed pups at 5 weeks and Scrappy was only one not claimed, he was the poor little runt. We claimed him. I’m not sure if its because he was so young when we got him or if its in his nature but he is very very dependent and does suffer separation anxiety if I go somewhere and cant take him. Anyhow unfortunately the little house in the woods was old and full of lead paint and mold, and got condemned, and after 5 years of loyal work a woman came into campground who wanted my Job. I was her 6th victim. (all that is a long story). I had to get out of the house and in the month that I was trying to find a place to go I lost my grandmother and my father. Just prior to that we also lost my kids paternal grandfather. I luckily had the camper I shared with childrens father, and because Scrappys mom was a pit bull and he has the face of his mom. Well we all know what a bad rep they have. I couldn’t find anyone to rent to me . My son and I were able to live at a campground in the camper for 3 months until by divine intervention the day before school started we found this apartment and she was ok with my “Boyz”.Sadly after 3 years here my landlord has moved out of state and can no longer keep property so they put it on market 2 months ago L. I can not find a place that will let me keep my “Boyz” mostly because of Scrappys look, which is terrible because he is such a loving big baby, with humans , anything with 4 legs im not so sure , the 2 of them have their own “pack” so they do bark at other dogs. I don’t take them anywhere that they would have contact, like doggy park ect. Just taking them out to tinkle is a bit tough because this is a busy neighborhood with no yard to speak of (but I am grateful to be able to have them so we make due. I just stand out with them and if I see a dog coming I either hold their leashes or if their done I get em in the house before they see the dog. Lol .My x “friend” would let me take them to her 1 acre fenced in yard to play free, and in return I would fix her computer do yard work , slow paced but well done. She decided out of the blue after I planted a beautiful garden and it started to produce , that all of a sudden Scrappy who along with Max would bark at a dog if it came up to fence was intolerable , “because scrappy looks intimidating” although her 3 dogs bark way more. She told me to put a shocking collar on his neck or forget bringing him down. Well I found it to coincidental to my finishing the bountiful garden, but anyhow there is no way I could put that on him. It shocks from a 1-6 and will stay at a 6 for 30 seconds, Scrappy has almost like a hound dog bark so it would go right to 6. Needless to say after 3 years they have lost their play because I can not torture him for being a dog, and the barking would only last 30 seconds till dog on other side passed. My son and I have lost all the vegetables I solely bought planted fertilize... I made it huge so that there was plenty for both families and then some, but I guess she couldn’t see that and wanted it all. Who knows wont be the first time I have worked hard and lost and im sure it wont be the last L. Anyhow: so I am although I feel awful asking for only 1 or 2 dollars donation so that I will have the money to put down on a little fix’r upper house somewhere which will enable me to keep my “Boyz” and also keep my boy stable to at least be able to finish HS. I stay up most nights because I just hate to put my head on my pillow, that is when I do thank God that right now I have that luxury of a roof and a bed , and at the same time I have such extreme anxiety on the question of how much longer. It is a horrible feeling night to night not knowing how much longer you can keep a roof over your childs head and keep the 2 dogs you never knew you could depend on and love so much, and the worry of what would happen to them if they cant stay with us. I would never scam anyone this is why I as embarrassed as I am , am putting out a majority of my personal life. I live by 2 mottos and have taught my children the same. 1) Do Unto Others as You would Want them to do onto You! 2)Walk a mile in another’s shoes before you past Judgment on them! These 2 things were “drilled” into me as a child so even if on the outside I wanted to come up with some kind of scam, I couldn’t do it. Anyhow I have rambled enough I know J I do thank you so much for your time and understanding. If you could help with just 1 or 2 dollars there is a paypal donation button on the myspace/boyzjerky page or it can be mailed to For the Boyz P.O. box 404 Kensington Ct. 06037 Thank You & God Bless
