It seems there are still doubters out there and some who don't believe what it says on the fund raiser and try and discredit it . This though is real life and one mans very real battle for survival and to stay together with his little dog . Some seem to wonder how I know so much about Tony and Rocky and what is happening in their lives when we are so far apart . Well that is because Tony is a dear friend I have known for a long while and I care enough to want to know what is happening and check in every day with them via the internet . They question why Tony did not go to an evacuation centre .. the answer is that thousands of others were also evacuated too and the centres were full . He was evacuated from the hotel he was staying in and the fire crews were accommodated there ,, the manager knocked on everyone's door and told them they had to get everyone out of the hotel and he had to leave . No help to get to evacuation centres or anything .. I found Tony places that were taking animals but he was told that they were full so when a room became available at the only other safe place he knew he took it . Yes Tony should be in a hospital but he wont be parted from little Rocky ... he wont give his little dog up and is trying very hard to take care of him . And yes Tony truly does feel like he just wants to not be here any more .. every second of every day he feels this way but also there is a side of him that also needs to stay safe and not die in the streets and try and keep his little dog safe because Rocky is all the family he has left . Then it seems some get all offended by me typing some of what I put in capital letters . They say it's shouting .. well only if your narrow minded and judgemental enough to see it only as that , is my opinion . The truth is that capital letters are there for whatever purpose the person typing them puts them there for . In my case it is to emphasise that this is real life and important and to make the important points stand out . That is why when I thank supporters at the end that is in capitals too .. because I truly do value the support we get . Those doubting though of course wont take a bit of notice of any of this because they already made their minds up and nothing is going to change it .. no matter how much you explain anything to them . Well here it is .. all explained for everyone to see . I know there are many many more out there who don't need anything explained and don't doubt anything though too ... and we thank you all so much . We also know many understand and support us because they know what its like to struggle too and know what Tony is dealing with ... you are all in our prayers too and I only wish I could do more and had more time in each day and could help all of you too xxx

Please everyone this is no scam or game or lie or anything else .. this is simply one man surviving when everything is saying to him that he doesn't want to . One man , desperate to hold onto his little dog , who has lost so much and would be even more alone without his little buddy with him . Every word on the fund raiser is real life , not a story that is made up , it has all happened to Tony . It is me desperately trying to make sure a friend and his little dog at least have a roof over their heads and a bed to sleep in and bathroom facilities to use and stay together . It is me trying to make sure this human being at least has that on a day that is supposed to be a big happy holiday over there because I know he will be so unhappy and miserable and alone . Nothing more and nothing less just trying to do what I can to make things better for someone who has become a dear friend . Please do what you can tonight to help me keep Tony and Rocky safe and warm and dry in a room that is all I am asking . Even if we only get enough to cover what his room will cost him tomorrow .... $75 then that will help .
