So, I told a user on another site that if she started a crowd-funding page I would try to point folks in her direction.

She had a service dog (Ewok - Before & After) that was lost for some time and eventually made it back to her a little worse for wear.

She is despairingly trying to get him back to his happy healthy self and is in need of a little extra help to get him there!

This is her page: Help For Ewok <3

If you are able to spare just a little of your usual Subeta funds for a real life puppy. Or, if that is not something you can do, perhaps spread the word in anyway you can (FB, Twitter, Social Networking period) I am sure you can help put a big smile on her and Ewok's day!

I donated $25 through PayPal to her initially, before she got this page up and running as she needed funds to help with food after all of her bills. I only wish I could have added to her final goal on there!

Note: I do not know this lady personally, but have been following her story in chat on the website, Khimeros. I do know that she is terribly friendly and I'm sure would love to chat and/or hear your encouragement as well if you are so inclined! :)

~I am going to ping the only people I know on Subeta that have in one way or another showed their support and kindness over the years. Please do not feel in anyway obligated. In fact completely ignore this if you want! And let me know if you'd prefer to not be pinged for things of this nature in the future! I am simply trying to live up to a promise I made to someone in need!

Thanks. And please ping others to the board if you feel they could help by sharing and so on! Thank you. ^-^

Also: If you do drop by with a donation, or just thoughtful words of encouragement, I'd love if you'd mention that you are from Subeta! I'd love to have an idea of how much this reaching out affects her over all goal! Thank you! <3

Thank you for the ping! I'd love to help but I am not able at the moment.

I'd like to ping to see if you'd be able to help as you will understand the need for Ewok!

Hi sweetie! <3 Happy to just see you respond. Thank you so much :)

It's a great cause but being so close to Christmas I'm broke for the moment :(

I've donated 10... I don't have that symbol on my keyboard :'D I hope Ewok can get back on his feet soon, and his owner can too.

Oh, that is just wonderful! I'm sure that's more than she could ask for. Thank you for your kindness, and I'm sure Ewok feels the love too!

I will likely show her a few screenies of this thread and I'm sure her heart will melt. Thank you again! ^-^ <3

I just donated as well and put a little note about Subeta in it. :) (just put my first name Cynthia on it though) I hope that the poor puppy can get on his feet soon.

That is so awesome hun. You're a doll! Thank you for responding and going to the trouble. It means a lot and I am sure you have touched her heart, and by extension, a loving pup! <3 HUGS

@ BeautifulChaos - thank you for pinging me for this! ? Indeed my own working dog is extremely precious to me. She's helped my health when humans and pain meds haven't been able to. So I've donated and said I'm coming from Subeta.

And thank you, , as well, for taking time out to share something that can really change the quality of life. I'm sure this woman is beyond touched by your kindness toward her. :)

Awe, yay! Good for you Thank you very much for sharing goodwill towards someone who needs it right now. Her spirits were quite down. Hug Take care hun. <3

Hi, Friends! Pinging you all in case any of you are able to either donate or share this topic/the YouCaring page. TY! ?

Thank you for the ping Beautiful dog! So glad she got her Ewok back, but it's so sad that he needs medical attention :( I will pass this along, and might be able to spare a little dough when we get paid :)

Thank you for the ping !

I know how important my animals have been to me through my illness, and they aren't even trained "service animals," and have also been helped immensely by kind strangers on through the Internet. Definitely paying it forward ASAP to help Ewok!

Thanks for Pinging me!

I'm afraid I can't afford to donate right now but I have shared on facebook and I hope the money can be raised! Poor Ewok!

What a lovely tribute to your pup! <3 I have a couple tributes of my dogs too. Cooper, passed over a year ago now, and the other, Chancey (his brother) is old, but still around! :)

Thank you for all of the pings sweetie! <3

Thanks for dropping by and reading about Ewok! :)

Aw, that is nice to hear you have a special animal(s) to help you through your own stuff. They are quite the companions and, I believe, really good for our soul!

Thank you so much for sharing! I am sure every little bit of love sent out is being felt! Much appreciated hun . :)
