Update... Thank you to all who have supported us in the last 3 years. We might not have heard much from me, but my life took a nightmare. Turn and Granny budge was circling down the drain and I had to fight my way out.... I'm about all out of fight.But I think we're seeing the light....ts been a challenging 3 years and my garden my animals have sustained me. Three years ago our home burned... I lost everything... Aren't it to the fire and smoke for 2 different cages of baby chicks and pull them out... we shuffled between a hotel and a hugely overpriced rental wire fought with the landover for 6 months. Because there was no hot water in the master bedroom and it was maddening after being a responsible landlord for some forty years.I encountered the worst imaginable landlord.It was an approtracted argument with her... and then back to our cottage.It wasn't quite ready to be lived in but the double price rental, the insurance got us ate up all of my housing.Allowance, and they didn't tell me until we were going to be homeless.The next week. During that time, we lost half of our income because we didn't have the house.And it was a huge struggle to keep our sixty animals alive, fed and with medical care.While we weren't living there for 8 months.. came back every day and worked until we dropped... my son, Shamar, and I....As we attempted to rebuild the house we were ripped off multiple times by contractors, business people and people portraying themselves as friends... Other people who were my friends dropped away.And I became completely isolated with no one.Everybody was there for the insurance like flies on meat. Now, with an unbelievable effort, including me up in the attic, framing up an air conditioning vent and then on the ground with a broken arm... and one crazy trip on ketamine in the ER that I'll never forget while they reset my arm...we have finished the house and in the process of renting. We got one great tenant.... And one that has been here for 6 weeks that is the nightmare from hell. We were somewhere in the middle of the landscaping... enjoying our newfound freedom because we weren't building the house and started to heal finishing off the last of organizing and my son committed su***de in georgia. Three weeks later, my beloved Mulan... My most beloved warrior princess puppy four pounds...was tragically killed by another one of our dogs and I blame myself. I no longer declare out loud " what next. There's the update my people, and we are back. Last week we rescued a baby dove, and we rescued these two from the feed store are one was near death. Although we stopped taking in fosters during our "reorganization"...yeah.... We went to the dump twenty times we had five hundred animals through this house.In the last twenty years raised ten children, two parents and had two of my brother stuff here... I think I may have been an organized hoarder, but the place is looking nice. Two thousand that did support us defeat the animals.When we had the fire, it it honestly was life saving. Moving forward, we still need support.We need volunteers, and we need love.
