PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN TONIGHT ... TONY HAS TO SWAP HOTELS IN A COUPLE OF DAYS AND IS STILL VERY UNWELL .... EVEN SHARING IS APPRECIATED ... THANK YOU

THOUSAND OAKS / NEWBURY PARK CA

Please can anyone help this devoted owner tonight ? Tony is very unwell , he has just come out of hospital following 2 falls and a second stroke and no help has been put in place yet . He is desperately trying to stay off the streets and care for his little dog Rocky . A social worker has been to see him and will be involved now but until they can find him help he only has the fund raiser to keep him and Rocky safe . He has to swap hotels in a couple of days time and somehow get all his belongings to another hotel . This won't be easy as he now has to walk with a frame to prevent further falls . If you are unfamiliar with Tony and Rocky's past please click on the fund raiser please take a look at it and read what Tony and Rocky have been through . Read how devoted Tony has been through it all to his family and little dogs and no matter how hard things got he never considered putting his dad or brother into a home or his little dogs into a shelter . They were his family and it was his job to care for them . Now all that has had such a toll on him and he is alone with just his title dog Rocky and is very unwell himself . When he could do with someone to care for him he has no one but still manages to look after his beloved Rocky . He was very distraught and frantic whilst in the hospital to be parted from his little dog and Rocky ended up in a shelter before we could get help to him . A team of us was working constantly to keep Rocky safe and Tony was able to get him back when he was released from hospital a few days later .
Please can you all consider helping in any way you can tonight ... sharing is always appreciated . if anyone can post on any Facebook pages that would be great as I have a permanent ban from interacting with pages , posting in groups is always a help too and donating any amount you can afford is always the best way to help , but we know not many are able to so appreciate shares too ... THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE XX

Update 8th April

Hi everyone , Tony is still in his hotel room trying to hold on and look after Rocky and not have to go back in the hospital . He is still very unwell and has a lot to try and cope with and we are very active in trying to help in every way we can . I spoke with him earlier on face chat and he had someone else staying at the hotel helping him sort out his medication .. what he should be taking when . It was good to hear he had someone with him doing a bit of looking after him .
His doctor had also phoned him , they asked if he would go into LA and get help with accommodation but it meant losing Rocky so Tony said no . His doctor has said they will send a nurse out to check on Tony in a few days time though , which also was very good to hear. .
What is not so good is that the hotel had said he had till the 12th .. but now hes been told he might have to check out on Wednesday . The hotel he had been using will not let him stay as they are stopping taking pets , so at the moment we are trying to find him another hotel he can use . He will have to pay about $85 a night though for the other hotel and it could be even more as there are very few to choose from .
Rocky also needs his license and Rabies shots renewing and this is also something we are working on getting sorted out at the moment . We are also trying to get in touch with Adult Protection who sent the social worker out and will ask about if his disability claim can be moved forward and the appointment by passed now Tony has got worse .

Lots going on and its all very very overwhelming for Tony when he is feeling very dizzy and hardly able to walk much and is generally very unwell and confused still . We are helping where we can though and he is trying but to stay safe he will need to keep his room covered whilst all this is worked on . Please help in any way you can tonight .. thank you xxx
Please if anyone else can send a donation the best way to do this is to use [email protected] on Pay Pal and send it using the family and friends option so no fees will be taken off what you send . By donating this way you can also send whatever amount you can afford and every dollar received will go straight into Tony's Pay Pal and into his bank and help Tony and Rocky stay safe
There is also this fund raiser that you can use to donate , but fees will be taken off your donation before Tony gets it https://goget.fund/2AT4ILx . For this reason there is also a minimum donation on there of $10 too .
Sharing the above fund raiser with all your contacts and wherever you can on social media helps get it seen and helps us find new people to donate and is always appreciated too . At the moment I am unable to interact with Facebook groups and pages so sharing to any of these for me would be a big help and sometimes I am restricted to who I can tag in my post too so tagging your contacts would be a help too .
THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE IN TEAM TONY AND ROCKY FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT . PLEASE KNOW EVERYTHING YOU DO IS APPRECIATED .. EVEN IF ITS ONLY PRAYERS AND SHARING .. AND I REALLY COULD NOT DO THIS WITHOUT THE HELP YOU GIVE AND TONY ONLY HAS US AT THE MOMENT AGAIN . WHEN EVERYONE ELSE LETS TONY DOWN YOU NEVER DO ... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT xxxx
