Auburn Eve update...

It’s the day before our visit to Auburn, and my anxiety is at about a 19.3 on a scale of 1 to 10. I look forward to getting answers tomorrow, but am nervous about having to make some very tough decisions.

We went out to see Chance yesterday, on a gorgeous (disgusting and rainy) Christmas day. It was pouring rain, but Chance was still in good spirits. He got to eat his mushy food (mixed with water) and happily splashed it all over his face. I’d wipe it off and he’d go back and lick his feed bowl again... and get filthy AGAIN... It became a game to him. Everything is a game to him. He makes life fun. He makes it light hearted and helps me not sweat the small stuff.

Attached are pictures from Christmas. He’s still filthy from his rolling escapade... but he’s still handsome.

UPDATE ON DONATIONS!

The people that have donated money have caused happy tears from my eyeballs on quite a few occasions. We have raised $2,551. Our goal, as mentioned before, is to afford at least the cheapest of radiation therapy, which ranges from $5,000-$6,000. Ideally a miracle could occur and we could afford the most successful radiation... but we’re about $10,000 away at this point.

We’re getting closer... BUT WE NEED MORE!

PLEASE don’t put this in the back of your mind. I know you have plenty going on and we all have our own problems... but EVERY DOLLAR HELPS. And PASS the word on! (Thank you to those of you who have!) You never know who will donate. (Seriously, I have been shocked at some of the people. It’s been amazing and heart warming).

This horse deserves life. He deserves to be around for when I have kids so he can introduce them to the therapeutic ability of horses. And maybe buck them off once or twice. And, let’s be honest, I’m nowhere near ready for babies. So... WE NEED HIM TO STICK AROUND.

I’ve been at sort of a standstill lately. Overwhelmed. Not sure what the future holds. Heart broken that I’m not in a better monetary situation. Heart broken that the blog has had 607 views and only 15 donations. If half of those people that looked at it donated $5, we’d have another $1,500 toward giving Chance a chance.

Not sure what else I can do. Open for suggestions...

PLEASE FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO HELP.
