π¨π CAPE TOWN, WE NEED A MIRACLE FOR WERNER AND HIS GIRL, KALI! ππΎ
Supawters, animal lovers, friends and guardian angels... we desperately need you right now.
This is a story that has absolutely broken our hearts. π Werner refused to give up on Kali. Please, Cape Town, let's not give up on Werner.
Werner is 46 years old. He lives with Multiple Sclerosis, and right now, he has no home. But he still has his beloved 7-year-old Staffie, Kali. And he refuses to give up on her.
Werner recently contacted our Not Without My Dog initiative, desperate for help.
The home he was renting was sold, and he was forced to move out. Unable to find somewhere that would accept his two precious dogs, Werner made a heartbreaking decision. He would rather sleep in his car than abandon the dogs who meant everything to him. He has now been living in his car for two weeks. Tragically, on their very first night in the car, one of his beloved dogs suffered a massive stroke and had to be put to sleep. π’
Now it's just Werner and Kali. A man has lost his home, one of his best friends, is battling a debilitating illness... and is desperately trying to hold on to the one companion he has left. Kali is Werner's reason to keep going. His family. His comfort. His whole world. We simply cannot stand by and watch these two lose each other too.
Werner receives a monthly disability payment and CAN AFFORD UP TO R9,000 RENT PER MONTH. Ideally, somewhere near Durbanville MediClinic, where he receives treatment, but ANYWHERE in Cape Town would be a blessing.
We aren't asking for a mansion. Just a safe, pet-friendly place where a man and his dog can sleep peacefully, together, without fear of losing each other.
π Werner is losing hope. Let's show him that humanity hasn't lost its heart.
Somewhere out there is a landlord, property owner, estate agent or kind soul who could change two lives forever.
