🧵 If I can raise at lease $800 by 12/3, I’ll be able to stay warm, alive, & keep my interspecies family together through Dec.
It’s a small ask as I prepare to live in my car with nowhere to safely park, no access to bathrooms, and constant threat of arrest.

Update: they’ve been at the vet for 5 hours, Esmé’s heart rate is still very high & they need to do some tests to know how to treat.
I’ll be blunt: please help raise some money here so that Désirée doesn’t have to choose between housing and her ESA.
