Campaign Story
Since birth I have been struggling with ADHD, which has turned into a clinical depression by the age of 22. I have been fighting it for a long time until a breakdown year and a half later, which has rendered me unable to work, to function properly. Everyday tasks equal to jumping off a cliff, making it into hard battle for a normal life, struggling to go out and trying to socialise and recover skills that used to be easy for me. The only thing that helped me through the hardest times was my doggo, Kalcifer. Thanks to him, I started to live again when I was accepted by cynologist community, where I'm slowly starting to learn how to train dogs and care for them. Work with dogs and eventually cats is helping me to get through this illness and slowly recover. I've started to volunteer at a cat shelter too and I am currently caring for 3 stray kittens, until they find their new home. I would like to gain a profession working with dogs, so I can spend the most time with them and as a tribute to them for helping me. I would like to participate in a dog grooming course, which would give me a groomer's certificate and a chance for me returning back to life. I cannot save the money myself, as I am on sick leave due to my depressions, trying to pay off my living expenses from the small amout of money I receive. Please help me become a dog groomer, so I can help those who cannot speak for themselves, yet helped me like no human could. Thank you
